Need bulb suggestions

[fatboyt123]

Sister needs new bulbs for her tank and want to change the look of the tank to more of a bluer look.Right now it just looks kinda plain.Want to know what bulbs you think would give me a more bluer look.Not 20k blue but more than 10k.It over a 55 gallon tank with a 4 bulb tek light.

would also love to see pictures of your guys tanks with t5s so i could find out what color i like and you can tell me your bulb mixture.
