perfect to me. im still learnin everyday bout bulbs, but more and more i see my friends fixtures, the less and less i see traditional "daylight" bulbs in there. my boy has almost the same idea goin on his as what u wanna do, only that its 8 bulb fixture. but it jus makes the colors WOW. i thought halide was great but the right t5, wit the right reflectors and an icecap to overclock, you got the best right there.

good luck wit the setup. PLEASE post pics of tank after settin light up. very curious to see the bluish glow.

Pampee -

That's real close to what I'm running over my 90g, except I threw a GE 6500K in there as well, and I love the color. Altogether, I'm running:

4 x Blue Plus (3 are overdriven)
1 x GE 6500K (overdriven)
1 x Fiji Purple

I would assume your setup would be just a little bit bluer. Below's an FTS with my bulbs:
