2 T5s to compliment my Hydra26HDs

The colors in your tank are personal choices. Pick whatever you like. You already have more than enough good spectrum to keep corals.
 
I just ordered 2 bulbs for my tank and had a hard time deciding but I went with ATI purple plus and a true actinic. I already knew I wanted an actinic and I choose the purple plus because it has the blue and red spectrums to bring out more colors in the corals than just the actinic alone. I also have 2 full spectrum LEDs that will pick the spectrums I’m missing!
 
I have my 2 AI Hydra26HDs set to the AB+ recommendation.
To supplement them I have 2 LET retrofit 36" fixtures. For a while now I've had:
1 x Coral Plus
1 x True Actinic

It's getting about time to order new bulbs and have been wondering about making a change:
1 x Blue Plus
1 x True Actinic

Other ideas? Maybe:
1 x Aquablue Special
1 x True Actinic
??
Opinions please!
I would go with blue plus and actinic. You would be fine with any but I like the visual of that combo
 
All totally personal preference. I’d personally go with a pair of 6500k lamps because I like how they look. But you would be no better or worse getting two blue+. Or two true actinic. Or any combo. I just wouldn’t do two purple+ bulbs
