I run 1-blue+ 1-superatinic 1-aquasun and 1-aquablue (front to back) Looks very good IMO. Seems to really make the colors pop.

I run 2 x pure actinic, 1 x midday 6000K, 1 x Aquablue+ 11000K. (All Giesemann brand lamps) They look good, although the midday is notably yellowish in comparison to the super-blueness of the others. Next time I'm in buying mode I'll replace it with an Aquablue+ or something similar.

Your bulb selection looks pretty good to me.
