Bulb Assistance

I have a 175w PFO E ballast and two VHO ballast which I was running url super antic bulbs. My tank is a FOWLR so lighting is purely for looks. I am having trouble with one of my VHO ballasts so I am thinking of just running the halides. I am looking for a halide bulb that will give me the blue antic look without sacrificing a lot of brightness. PAR value obviously is not important to me because all I care about is as bright a bulb as possible which still maintains the antic glow I achieved with my VHOs. Any suggestions?
