will corals grow with this bulb configuration?

I have the 20in odyssea t5HO fixture. It comes with two 18w daylights and two 18w blue actinics. I kinda like the blue look better so if I were to have three blue bulbs and one white would that still be okay for the corals. I'm not going to be loosing any light am i?

If you use the ATI Blue Plus bulbs you'll have no problem, they have the highest PAR ratings for tested bulbs.

Do they have 18in bulbs?

18in or 18w? I'm not sure off the top of my head, I'd have to check when I get home.

18w. I know they are smaller than 24in and I cant find anything smaller than 24in. I just emailed reefgeek.
