T5 bulb selection, 16 bulbs.

Hi folks,

I'm in the planning stages of a 4'x4x'2' rimless aquarium.

I've decided to light the tank with 2 ATI 8x39w 36" fixtures. I'm looking to achieve the same lighting style as Szymon's gorgeous July '08 TOTM. Would LOVE some bulb selection help, it's a bit more difficult with this setup than I thought it'd be, thanks!


Here are some pics and a quote from Szymon for reference:
Quote:
Out of the ten T5 bulbs I use only three white (ATI Blue Spezial), while the rest is a combination of blue and violet light (ATI Blue Plus, ATI Blue Actinic, and Korallenzucht Fiji Purple).





Here is my VERY TERRIBLE topdown sketch of my tank for reference:
