Not sure how much this will help you. I am going to use this config when I replace my lights T5 VHO lights. It is not my config got off RC not sure form who or I'd give 'em credit.

From the front:
ATI Aquablue
UVL Super Actinic
UVL Aquasun
ATI Blue Plus
GE 6500K Daylight or Giesemann Midday
ATI Blue Plus
UVL 75/25
ATI Blue Plus
"Grab an extra Aquablue just in case. They are a crisp white light with a slight blue tint. If you think the above mix is more blue than you want just swap out a Blue Plus for the Aquablue and it should get you there."

Like I said, don't know who posted this, but I am looking for more of a blue tint myself so I am going to try this when my bulbs need replacing.If you go to T5 Q & A you may find more info. Good luck.
