Calling all t5 owners!

I currently have a 75g with 6x54w t5 retro's lighting it and i am not particularly crazy about the coloration. The current configuration runs like this: (front-to-back) actinic+, aquablue+, actinic+, 65k, aquablue+, actinic+.

I would like to see some pics of, and bulb details, from some of you fellow t5 owners in hopes of getting new ideas for a different bulb combo/coloration. Looking for something to help make my corals "pop!" Thanks in advance for any tips!

ATI Blue Pluses are nice bulbs, peek at 450 I believe and they are quite blue, good par too.

I use ATI Blue Plus x2, and 2 10Ks. Nice and bright but gets the corals color to pop as well. I'm still trying to figure out the white balance on this camera. Every pic I take of the whole tank looks way dimmer than it real life. I'll try to get some good pics tomorrow.
