lighting is a matter of preference. one person is going to like the more yellow look... another the more whitish... and another more blue... the setup will be yours... so there is no telling what you really want your lighting to look like in your tank.

The ATI blue+ put out par comparable to a daylight bulb. Add some aquablue special and Fiji purple to bring out some other colors.
Faviafreak posted a great combo.

I'm wrong? :)
Did you even check this PDF?
Somebody spend 9 months to help other people choose light spectrum to grow sps corals better... That's the point of this article.
I'm glad to see your corals growing nice and fast but that doesn't mean they cant grow faster :)
I just want to help, but to be honest light color is our personal choice and he gonna switch bulbs few times before he gonna like result.

Peace...
