How much money you got?

You really should be working the other way around. Use Super Actinic VHO and then different spectrum T5's.

So depending on how blue you want things, you could go with two Super actinic VHO's and then daylight T5's in the 10K range or mix and match a 6500K and an Aquablue (11000K or 12000K). Or two Aquablues ...
