T5 bulb combos?

[Skeptic9962]

Been trying to find the best color combo t5s with my halides, anyone have input this is what I was thinking of trying:

Outer orbit fixture
Has 250w 14k pheonix (new)
1 geissman pure actinic
2 Ati blue +
1 kz Fiji purple

Still has stock curent bulbs just wondered if this would be good setup...other fixture is the exact same just only a 150w 14k pheonix both are 24" fixtures side by side over my 75

Here's a pic of what the fiji purple looks like. http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1959124 I would say the tank is still going to be fairly blue, but you'll see a bit more pop in your red colors.

got the bulbs that i ordered this afternoon this combo while the halide is on dont really see a difference other then pinks/reds pop a bit more but when its just the t5s man does the fiji purple really make a big difference in pinks/reds and the ati blue plus are great too, much brighter then stock current t5s very pleased with this combo ill post pics for anyone that wants a refference get some pics in a few hours
