T5 lighting anyone?

[wannabeeareefkeeper]

What (T5s) configuration setup have you enjoyed the most? Please annotate the sequence either from front to back, or back to front with your response. What types of corals did you grow out with your lighting selection? You can mention brands, but I have an idea what brand I'm going with.

My tank is primarily LPS, but there are a few SPS in the mix and things seem to be doing well

I liked the 1st configuration most. The Extra Coral+ gave the colors a boost since it is a special combo bulb.

I'm knew to T5 but after testing ATI's various bulbs, I only use their Blue Plus and complement with Wave Point's Coral Wave for optimum par and aesthetics.
I got this idea from Aviarium , check out their display for reference.
