    What is the best combination of bulbs for a 4 bulb fixture. I have a 55 gallon standard if depth has anything to do with it I am looking for a blueish look but I like white to. I have a 4 bulb sundial if that helps

    Yes the Aquablue Special is white and the Coral Plus is a daylight bulb that will lighten the blue a little when used with the Aquablue.
