Personal opinion.. I dislike the blue tanks I see. so I am shooting for a whiter look with a hint of blue..
all t5.. softie tank/maybe some lps .. 90 g
4 bulb fixtures.. I presently have two 24 inch fixtures over the tank.. running a mix of 6 month old bulbs. and a couple new ones.. I am in the process of changing 1 bulb every couple weeks to a month so that I don't shock the system with all new bulbs at once.
your suggestions?
 
I am running all ati bulbs, 3 blue plus with 1 aqua blue special and it gives it a nice white look with a hint of blue. I have also ran 2 blue plus, 1 aqua blue specials and a purple plus.
 
ATI blue+ coral+ combo

If you want more white mix in an AB special

Agreed. I have a fixture with (2) ATI blue+ & (2) ATI coral+ and it is a nice crisp white with a hint of blue.
 
I have 2 blue +, 1 coral +, and 1 purple+. I know some people don't like the purple plus bulb but I like the color it gives to my fish
