Thats awesome with the VHO's. I wonder what it would look like if someone replaces the PC's with T5's. I know it would cost more but would be cool to compare with Rick's. Very nice DIY conversion.

I have also tried the combo with 6500K. I have found mixing the 6500K will wash a lot of the blue out. My friend has 2 Aquablues and 2 Blue+'s and that looks right on for a phoenix 14K.
