Well got my light the other day and i like it. im still playin around with the bulb configuration but i think i got it now. i started off with 3 aquablue+, 2 pure actinics, and one actinic+, put it was a little to purple for me. so now i whent with the 3 aquablues, 1 pure actinic and 2 actinic+ it goes actinic+ then aquablue aquablue, then the pure actinic, aquablue, the actinic+. right now i like the way it looks. i think i still have enough actinics to grow the sps without it being a purpleish color. i just picked up 5 sticks of "stag corals"? today along with a three headed chunk of hammer. so im hopeing my lighting is enough

nice combo, what tank size is it going over? My 6 bulb T5 goes over 33 cube and I can keep SPS on the sand bed.
