From what I have read and experienced - the ATI line of bulbs are great value. The Blue plus is a great bulb for the price and very popular. The have the Purple plus which is basically a 20 dollar version of the 34 dollar KZ Fiji purple.
If you had a 6 bulbs -You could do worse then 2 ATI blue plus, 2 ATI blue special and a ATI Purple Plus / ATI True Actinic 03 bulb.
Do some searches - "best 4 or 6 bulb T5 combination" and you'll find a plethora of other opinions.
Hope this helps. These bulbs can be had $18-20 from BRS during a group buy. Which we have one coming up in Early May.

These are the ones I bought/hate. Not really hate....I just don't like them as much as the blues. I used them for 3 nights and then took them out. I will be doing a LED now anyways. So basically I spent $100+ and will not be using them.
