I use all blue plus with mine and it looks great. However, I’m using a Kessil 360 as my led.

Most folks use a combination of blue+ and coral+. 3 blue+ to 1 coral+ is a good start, but it depends on how blue you want the tank to look.

2 blue+ and 2 Actinic worked for me when I had my ai hydra 26's. I also prefer the a bluer spectrum for coral pop.

Would 1 x Radion xr30 g4 and a 4 buld t5 unit be enough for a 3 foot tank?

What are the width and height of the tank? What length are the T5 bulbs? A 3 foot T5 fixture with 4 bulbs should be able to grow about anything on a 3 foot tank without the LED.

the tank is Length 36inch Width 20 inch Height 24inch the t5 is 36inch long 4 x 39w I've had just T5 alone (ati 6 bulb 39w) and I really didn't like the look so wanted the LED so i was able to adjust the viewing experience. I have two AI Prime HD'S which i was going to use with the aquatic life unit but not sure if to go with the radion instead?
