what would you suggest for a 4 bulb fixture? There is three cords to control 2+2+ LEDs. I was thinking 2 coral+ one pink and one blue+ or actinic. But I am hoping for more input or even for someone to show me thiers as close to true as possible. I don't want a blue/purple tank. Nor a white tank. I want pop and realistic. I'm hopin for a mix reef. Thanks

You will be very limited for the spectrum of your tank with only 4 bulbs. For a 14kish look I would do 2 blue plus, 1 coral plus and 1 purple plus (IMO your only real option). This will be still a very white combo but there is not much else you can do. Swapping a "coloured" bulb for another blue will make it more blue but you will lose a lot of colour on corals without at least one white and purple bulb. I would not use any actinic bulbs with only 4 bulbs.

I could see 2 coral plus, 1 blue plus, one purple. Basically gives you 2-1 blue (I think the coral plus is basically half special blue and half blue plus)
