Hamilton Tech Sebu Sun, T5HO bulb selection help!?!?

[zach_discus]

Hello R2R friends. So while I finish up over the next couple months the foundation for my 450 build. My 100 Frag tank is overburdened. So to alleviate that problem a local reefer Trido swapped out his 220 and I was able to pick up his old tank and a Aqueon stand. Another local reefer had a Hamilton Tech 60" Sebu Sun fixture setting around and gave it to me.

I swapped the magnetic ballast for new Nanolux OG 400watt electronic ballast and 400watt Radion 20K bulbs. Now looking to work out bulb selection for the T5HOs. My thoughts are 2 ATI Blue + for par and color and 2 ATI Purple+ to add a little more white and red to the mix.

Last will be DIY LED stunners down each side with a 1<2<2 mix of 30K of UV and RB emitters to add that florressing pop and sparkle.

The purples are too red for me. instead of two purples and try one purple and one coral plus. the coral plus is a combination of blue plus and aquablue special. so ots pretty white with some blue.

Thanks, cromag08, after seeing the bulbs together. I'm a bit worried that with the 20k Radions, the tank may end up to blue. Maybe I'll try Two Coral+ and 2 Blue+. Also going to pick up some of the Hamilton 14k halides to try also.
