You can also pick them up at Advanced Reef Aquatics in Milton. If you have 4 bulbs and have corals in your tank, I would go with 3 x ATI Blue Plus and 1 x ATI Coral Plus. You could go 2 x ATI Blue Plus, 1 x Purple Plus and 1 x Coral Plus but I think the tank would come off to white looking IMO.

from his previous combo it seems he likes it closer to white than blue.

I'm a 20k guy myself but its not achievable with t5's...
