Best T5HO for Radium MH

Hey Reefers!!
I need some help on finding the right T5HO combination to go with 2x 250w Radium MH. I am looking for an ATI bulb - either Blue Plus, True Actinic, or Purple Plus.
The lights are for my SPS/LPS 100 gallon reef with all color coral.

I think I will be getting VHO Super Actinics along with any T5HO fix, unless you guys can think of a good ATI bulb combo.

Thanks!

How many t5's? Do you like the 20k look? If so I'd run a blue plus and a purple plus. Or 2 blue plus.

I run an actinic LED. Might want to look at reefbrites or one of those types. Bulb replacement gets pricey on the T5s
