T5 Bulb Suggestions

[Fleur]

I have a 75 gallon tank with a 6 bulb Tek light on it. What bulbs would you recommend I get for the fixture? I purchased it used and have no idea what bulbs are in it at the moment but, I think it is a bit bright for the tank and they need to be replaced anyway. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

I run a 6 bulb ati sunpower and I love my bulb combo. I run this combo and everything grows fine.
Front to back:

Ati aquablue
Ati blue plus
Ati blue plus
KZ fiji purple
Ati blue plus
Ati aqueblue

Good color on corals and good growth. I recently had to re-acclimate all my corals to these strong bulbs and fixture which was well worth it. Everything looks great now though.
