New Bulb Thoughts

I am looking to get a new bulb today for my 4 bulb T5 light. I have the Deep Blue SolarXtreme fixture with built in moonlights. My current bulb structure is:

1-stock 10,000K bulb
1-stock actinic bulb 420. Certainly more purple and really sucks as far a light output is concerned.
1-Giesemann Actinic + love this bulb
1-Giesemann Aquablus + also awesome

As far as color, I am looking for intensity in the florescence spectrum and growth ability. I want to make sure my tank is getting enough light to house anything. This fixture is currently over a 20 Gallon but will soon be over a 40B. Any thoughts on color or anything are greatly appreciated.
 
Figi purple you might like.It enhances pinks,reds, orange also yellows & greens.Real nice ,high par bulb.

Personally for a 4 bulb whitch I use as well.It gives good growth (high par bulbs) not to white but definately not overly blue.Ie-your whites on fish will still look white.
Blue +

Aqua blue 15k bulb (not the 12k
