comments on my t5 bulb combo

in a couple of days my 2nd fixture will be at my house. this will bring my lighting to 9 bulbs over a 120 gallon tank. I plan on running (in this order) 1st,3rd,5th,7th and 9th bulbs will run from 1:00PM - 7:00PM, 2nd,4th,6th, and 8th bulbs will run from 10:00AM - 7:30PM

1. Aquablue Special -ATI
2. Blue plus - ATI
3. Blue plus - ATI
4. Pure Actinic - ATI
5. 6500 k - GE
6. Blue plus -ATI
7. 10,000K - UVL
8. Pure Actinic - ATI
9. Aquablue special - ATI

I chose this combo and placement for these reasons:

I really like the color the blue Plus puts out, and I think it looks great with the 12000K of the aquablue special, however there is no red in that spectum at all, so I thought about adding the 6500K, since I am only gonna run 1 I thought it would be best placed in the middle of the tank so it wouldn't throw the color off when viewing the tank. I could run another aquablue special instaed of the 10000k but I have read that 10000k is the closest to the suns actual light, and now that I have more room to play with I thought I would give it a shot. It will be pretty close to the middle of the tank as well and should change the way the tank looks from the front that much.

Any thoughts on this combo?
