Nice setup. Our setups are almost identical. The light and all. My bulb combo is also too blue for me. I run
3 ATI Blue plus
1 Coral plus
2 Actinic.
I plan on installing another coral plus this week. Or some kind of equivalent white bulb. Keep us posted with your bulb combo.
I have the same fixture and was worried about going too blue, so I went with
2 coral plus
2 blue plus
1 purple plus
and 1 actinic
NEver had T5 before, and my build will be done tonight (I'll post pics later)

Would love to see what that combo looks like, if i compared my fixture with the leds on to a 400wt 20kradium bulb -- mine looks like 30k

what is your light schedule?
Reefbrites come on 10 am, from 11 to 1pm channel 1 ramps to 100%, from 11:30 to 1pm channel 2 ramps to 100%. Then from 5 to 8 both channels ramp down to 0, reefbrites go off at 930
