I have a 48 in 216 watt t5 fixture. I'm currently running 2 actinic 1 10k and 1 red wave. What company and colors would you use? I believe I'm currently using wave point bulbs and I'm unhappy with my color.

I'm using ATI Blue Plus, Purple Plus, Actinic, & Aquablue special.
I plan to switch the AB Special with Coral Plus.

No, the only issue is that you have the very blue purple look.

In my experience the ATI bulbs are the best for their price. The KZ bulbs are nice but almost twice the price and in many cases are not as good as the ATI. I run lots of blue plus with a coral plus, purple plus, and actinic. The new coral plus bulb seems really nice.
