Lighting Bulb question

I had a small reef tank before and i was running the following bulbs in my (4) bulb fixture:
1 - ATI Blue Plus
1 - ATI Purple Plus
1 - Super Blue
1 - ATI Aquablue Special

i now have a (6) bulb fixture over my 90 reef and was wondering which bulbs i should run (2) of or just which bulbs will do best. I plan on have jts like frogspawn, Torch, Zoas and easy stuff like that for corals/ i also want to grow some real nice coraline algae. Give me your thoughts.

You can also google ATI bulb color combinations, there is some good marketing material that shows corals under different bulbs. A picture is worth 1000 words.
