    An ATI Aquablue special would look nice in place of one of the Blue+ bulbs.

    well if im correct, the aquablue special is a 12,000k bulb. i still have 2 12,000k bulbs sittin around that came with my fixture. so i will try one of them out. im hoping 2x blue plus, 1x purple, and 1x 12k will look nice.

    Yeah...thats your problem...Coraline needs 10k's or 12k's...I would replace on or two bulbs with 12k's or 10k's and that should do the job.

    I myself use Purple up. Ever since i started using it along with cal mag etc my coraline has grown like a weed. I just set my new setup about a month ago I got some coraline growing down there from seeding it already.. To me its worth its weight in silver!!
