t5 supplement?
i've got a question. this whole world of lighting is somewhat of a mystery in trying to find the "perfect combination" of lights. i know lighting is very much objective and personal preference, but which bulbs to achive the look i want is somewhat confusing. currently i have a 40g 18" tall with 2x150 10k reeflux mh, with 4x39 t5 retro (2xreefgrow actinic, and 2xreefgrow 10k). the reeflux 10k's are a nice white, but are being run on an electric ballast so i do not get the nice blue "pop" the i was hoping for. i want to run t5 actinics but am having trouble deciding which bulb combination to go with. i was thinking 2 ATI B+, 1 G-man A03 and 1 ATI aquablue. i want more blue since the 10k's are so bright white. i run the MH for 7 hr's and supplements for 4-5hrs. i want more blue like i said but not totally blue when just t5's are
on. any advice would be appreciated.

I'd ditch the ati aquablue since it basically is white with a blue hue.
