2 ATI Blue Plus, and 2 ATI Aquablue special.

will these be good for a reef tank?

reef lighting is my first priority, then better color.

I agree with the ATi bulbs. Nice look and perfect for corals.

Oh Yes. Good lamps!

 

[CleverBs]

will this bring out my colors more as well?

 

[carey]

In my opinion and experience yes. These bulbs will give your tank a slight blue hue rather than the yellow you get with 10k bulbs and regular actinics.

ATI Bulbs - 2 aquablue, 1 blue plus, 1 purple plus

would this be good?

 

[mr_X]

Na. With only 4 lamps the Purple plus will be a negative IMO.

 

[CleverBs]

oh ok, I dont know much about lighting for ati

 

[mr_X]

It's personal preference as long as you are using all high PAR lamps, like ATI, Giesemann, or Korallen Zucht. I prefer the ATI blue Plus for my actinics. they make a tank look great. The Aquablue Specials are a nice white light to the naked eye.

 

[CleverBs]

what kind of color will that much blue give me? I feel like it will make the tank really dark

 

[mr_X]

It will most likely be brighter than what you have now. As i said, these are high PAR lamps. Much more usable light than stock current or coralife lamps, and with much better color.

 

[CleverBs]

so it will bring out the color of my fish and corals more as well? to my eyes that is

 

[mr_X]

Yep. It will.

 

[carey]

If you like a purple hue. I dont like mine but thats just me. lol

I have the cobination of (2) blue plus and (2) aquablue specials as Carey and X have recommended. It was one of the best purchases for my reef thus far. The color contrast is unbelievable and my fish and corals look fantastic. I will try to post a before and after pic.
