For bulbs I was gonna do. 1 ATI aquablue, 3 ATI blue pluses, 2 UVL super actinics.
The water will look pretty blue and the corals should glow like crazy.

Yea, With all those blue bulbs the corals WILL "Glow like crazy"!! Until they die from lack of light! Corals can not be kept under Blue/Actinic lights alone! The daylight bulbs are what they feed off of and without them or without enough of them the corals will die.
EDIT: I thought we had talked about this already. I made several bulb suggestions and now this? You can not have all blue my friend or nothing will grow and they will just wither and die. I don't want to see you throwing money away like that OR that many animals dying for no reason other than wanting color.
