T5 Bulb selection

[FlamesFan]

Im looking at installing 2 48" retrofit T5 light setups so I now have to decide on what 4 bulbs I want to use in them. Im kinda going for that warm blue look but not overwhelmingly blue.

Im also looking at keeping a full reef setup with corals.

So lemme hear some suggestions and maybe if you are suggesting your own current setup, tag a picture of your tank along with it.

Taggin alone...Im looking at doing front to back

ATI Blue Plus
UVL Aquasun 10k
UVL Super Actinic (420nm)
ATI Aquablue Special 12k

I think this will give that blue hint ..but not too over powering....Can anyone verify this for us?

For a good blue look:

ATi Blue Plus
UVL Super Atinic
ATi Aquablue Special
ATi Blue Plus

This gives a 14000K look, similar to Phoenix MH.
