its preference really.

I am going with:

Aquablue Special
Aquablue+
Aquablue Special
Aquablue Special
Aquablue+
Aquablue Special

I heard this gives a crisp look with a hint of Blue.

Replace one of the aquablue specials for a daylight and it will look whiter.

yup its more personal preference. Some like the purple look and the T5's have the ability to get the sickest purple possible. I personally like the crisp blue with combos of 11k-15k and actinics. I think one daylight bulb mixed in helps round out the colors though. It just seems to make the tank look more vivid. The color temp I'm not fond of is currents 10k which I think really peaks around 8000 but thats just a guess based on its apparent color.
You can use the stock actinics but my shifted color really fast and they do not give the pop that some of the aftermarket bulbs do. giesemann and UVL are both really good choices for T5 bulbs.
This really catches my attention from giesemanns aquablue+ " It can be used for growing SPS corals up to 80cm in the aquarium." .

Thats a little over 30 inches.
