    I mounted my 2 panorama modules in my t5 fixture where my actinics would be since they are plenty powerful enough. I left my 10k white in along with a purple plus. My issue was it looked to pink ish purple with everything on. Can I replace the purple plus with a actinic?? Will it be enough light for corals?? In a 55g?? Didn't think purple plus did much...

    I would go with a 10000K to 12000K white bulb with the Panoramas.
