Tek t5 Help

[smallreef]

two questions...

I have been working alot over the last year and havent had much time to read whats new with t5's. I have a 36" tek t5, 4 bulb unit. I need to replace the bulbs. I would like a combination that would give off a nice deep blue shade. My tank is looking a little yellow, the bulbs are old and need to go. Any recomendations for what bulbs I should get. I have soft/hard corals + maxima clam

Also, it seems the salt crept has stained the reflectors, doesnt seem to come off with water. Do you think this matters? Is there anything that will shine the reflectors back up?

Thanks
