T5 question what K rate to use

tank is L47" X W20" X H20"
I have a sand bed of about 1,5" lots of rock work see picture attached to get an idea
I have mixed coral soft and hard ones
I am planning to upgrade the lighting currently 2 X T12 40W 20000K and 1 X T8 36W 12000K and one 40W marine blue
want to go to a 10 bulb set up with aluminum reflectors wondering what K rate to use 6500/13000? was thinking of 6 white 4 blues?
advise and pros and cons of choices?
