T5 Newb... need help on color

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I have pretty much found all the answers ive needed by searching these forums as a guest, but just couldn't quite find my answer by a simple search, even though this has been a topic several times.

I have a standard 55 gallon tank and I just got a 4 bulb t5ho light fixture. It has a 10,000k, 12,000k, and two blue bulbs and the color is just way too white. Ive been running coralife 50/50 bulbs in my old fluorescent fixtures. I like that color, but would maybe want something with just a little more blue, but I definitely don't want the blue to be the dominant color. I do like the purple tint of the 50/50, but I know it can look better now with this fixture.

With my looking around on these forums I did find one suggestion.

2 Ati BluePlus
1 Ati Purple Plus
1 KZ New Generation

Without a picture its hard to image what color that combo produces.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ive seen the colors that im going for in other post, but they were 6-8 bulb fixtures.

Thanks
 
That would be perfect if that's the case. I love that tint, as long as it shows all the color of the fish and whatever coral I decide to try my hand at.lol
