Drizzlefish Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Blue + Blue+ Coral + Purple + Maybe...? Looking for a combo for my 36 in 4 bulb setup over my mixed reef I like the blue look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 That's what combo I use and its awesome. Fantastic colors. It's very hard to photograph though. Even the dslr pics I posted in my build thread aren't entirely accurate to what it looks like. When its bulb change time I will be going with two coral +, one blue +, and one purple +. I like the blue look too but since its only 4 bulbs I think a little extra par might help some of my sps that aren't looking as good as I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I just did blue + x2, purple +, and aquablue(all ATI lamps) for my office tank. I like it, it's around 15k I think. I'll take a pic of it tomorrow and post it. If you look in my 'Something for my office' build you can see what the stock Odyessea 10k/actinic lamps look like. If I had to guess, I'd say that combo was about 12k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzlefish Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 I have that 10k / actinic odyessea set up on there now... Time to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Grog Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Swapping the stock Odyssea bulbs for ATI bulbs is a huge change IMO. You will be happier, no matter which bulb combo, using the above bulbs. They have significantly more output and will look much nicer, even using the Odyssea fixture. I'm using a 48" Odyssea fixture with ATI bulbs right now, and love it. Bulbs made the difference! (I'm running 4X 48" ATI over my 33 long for reference.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Here is a shot with the new ATI lamps. Blue + x2, Purple +, Aquablue. Sorry for potato. This color is pretty close to what my old eyes see. Definite purple tint to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Fan of 2 coral plus, one blue plus, and one purple plus. Good clean 14k, not too blue either. -TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ok, well, in doing a direct compairison between the picture and the tank; it's not as purple as the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
