I have: 2- ATI Blue Plus, 1- ATI True Actinic, 1- UVL Aquasun (10K), 1- ATI AquaBlue, and 1 - ATI Pro Color. I put the the Blue Plus bulbs on the outside and have those come on before the rest and stay on a little longer after the rest.

Great way to show the contrasting difference between the different configurations Chris. Those are both great shots.

Thanks. They're not exactly what the eye sees, which I find hard to capture with a camera sometimes, but the settings were the same so the differences are accurate. I believe both pictures have less "yellow" in them than what I see, so I'm actually very pleased with the light setup that I'm currently running, which is the one that appears more blue.
