I am about two months away from needing to change my bulbs but am dying to change the colour a bit and lower the par. this ati sunpower is super powerful and a bit too much for my tank atm. this is the new bulb combo i am going with. what do you guys think of the combo. and i know, the actinics will be overpowered by the other bulbs and maybe not do so much for par but that is the idea, fill a hole and maybe the actinic will help bring out some colors a little.

3 ati blue plus
1 purple plus
1 coral plus
1 actinic

any suggestions on bulb placement? im kinda thinking something like this from front to back.

That sounds like a pretty good mix...... But yea you won't notice the actinic much but they do provide some par.....I have 3 actinics on my tank and they are all overpowered when other lights are on......
