Bumping this as well as I’m looking for something more visually pleasing than the 2 B+, 2 C+ I’m currently running. Debating 2 B+, 1 C+, and either 1 P+ or Actinic.

If its hybrid. Then try actinic, blue plus, led, purple plus, blue plus. This is what I have and visually it's the best. It not super blue and has a nice purple hue to it and I have had good success with coral growth and coloration.

The store I bought the bulbs from runs only hybrid lights in all their tanks. Every t5 fixture had some mixture of blue+, coral+, and actinic. The 4 bulb fixtures had on one of his display tanks had two of the blue+, one coral and one actinic. Thank tank looked really good.

I was actually considering that combo as well since actinic bulbs provide a wavelength that isn’t possible with LEDs.
