Which T5 supplement to go with 15K Iwasaki 175watt Halide?

I'm trying to figure out what supplemental light to go with a 175watt Iwasaki 15K.

It's a 48" 2x175watt with 2x54watt T5 supplements. But not sure which lamps to go with.

I want them to be pretty actinic, meaning it brings out the blues and such. I know the Iwasaki's are a little on the non-blue side.

I like the color of the Phoenix 14k 250watt by itself with a teeny bit more actinic.

Thanks!! (pix of your setup would rock too)
