3 blue+ 1 aquablue; location and which for dawn/dusk? (sps)

just wanting to show rockwork that highest point of tank is almost in the middle of the tank.

Got another blue+ to replace a pro color.

just wondering if this configuration is okay for my tank (75g)

front
blue+ (7-8hr 80w overdriven)
blue+ (12h dawn to dusk 54w)
blue+ (12h dawn to dusk 54w)
aquablue special (7-8hr 80w overdriven)
back

viewing hours will be in the dawn/dusk time so i am trying to optimize the look then. i really like a blue look.

tank is going to be sps dominated, was thinking about getting some lps/softies, but i'm not sure yet (maybe like RC's "seapug" current tank of the month)

let me know, i'm doing the wiring right now with hood off of tank waiting on the bulb to get delivered. .

Sounds pretty good to me. Might want a little more rock for pristine water quality for the acros. Also, softies can emit chemicals that SPS aren't too fond of.

 

Just make shure your skimmer is running top notch.

This will give the Most light Directly over the Rock and better Distribution of the B+ spectrum as well front to back.

THe Special being second from the back will help distribute its spectrum across the rockwork on all sides instead of just the backside..

Hopefully you can still OD The Special set up that way.

Even light distibution plays a big role in our Tanks.

I flank T5 B+'s around my 175XM20K with Softies and SPS .Keeping the Brightest HIGh noon light in the center of rockwork realy helps the tank flourish.

was way too blue!

today i changed it to
B+ (dawn-dusk)
B+ (overdriven)
specal (overdriven)
B+ (dawn-dusk)

this was awesome. gave the actinic look i was looking for in the morning and evening and a 14-20k look during the daylight hours. we'll see how the coral does, been having good coral growth on old setup, but i'm looking for a drastic increase in growth/color.
