    I really like the blue look to. Here is mine....4X39 T5 HO TEK with 2-ATI blue plus,1-UVL super actinic and 1-ATI aquablue special. I think I might get a Fiji Purp or the new ATI purp. plus to replace the one aquablue special and see if I like that look better.

    i think the blue is more natural, i have been snorkeling and it is certainly "blue" when looking down at the corals.

    I run 2 ati aqua blue plus, one ati aqua blue special and one kz fiji purple. It looks good but the thing I don't like about this combo is that all the green coraline and green macro algae is washed out by the lights.

    hmm. the ONLY kind of coralline in my tank is purple and it has covered everything. there is only tiny patches of deep red coralline in hidden spots. my blue lighting really makes my green star polyps glow.

    i love what the blue look does to my green corals, and what the purple does for reds. i think blue tanks look good so long as there isnt a lot of blue colored things in the tank.

    my clam, melanurous, and clown tang get washed out when my daylights go off.

    -running 3 ati blue plus, 1 ge 6700k, 1 fiji purple, 1 ati aquablue special. very cool white color.
