10K halides with 4 Blue Plus is what I'd do.

Hello Grim, Long time no ask question 
Grim I acquired a 10 bulb powermodule for my new 150 Gallon Reef. I have a TON of bulbs available. I noticed that you have given 10bulb suggestions before to other powermodule users but all of them had tanks that sit against a wall. My tank is a Peninsula and after attempting some combinations I don't think I was doing it right.
I have the Following Bulbs and Quantities at my Disposal
[8] ATI Blue +
[2] ATI Aquablue Special
[2] ATI Purple Plus
[2] Korallen-Zucht New Generation Fiji Purple
[2] Korallen-Zucht New Generation Coral Light
[2] SolarMax 11,000K
[2] SolarMax Actinic 03
[1] Geissman Actinic +
[4] Wavepoint ReefWave
I Tried a experiment with LED's that browned out some of my SPS and they are starting to get back their color.
Here is my tank. This combination is

To me the tank seems DIM but I'm not sure.. I think maybe its my eyes.

Try swapping out the Aquablues for Fiji Purple and see what you think.
AND BEWARE THE TANG POLICE!!!

Ok I'll swap them out.
As for the tang police LAWL... I'm a fugitive!
I've raised all those tangs from 1" When they hit around 5/6" I trade them out to my Friend at the LFS and he replaces with with a NEW Trio.
Those tangs will go into a 1600 Gallon SPS Reef in about 7 or 8 months

We bought a 72" 6 bulb fixture and the bulbs are in this order.
blue +
blue +
purple +
blue+
10k white +

do you think this will work in this order or should we change the order or the 10k to something else? Will be doing mostly softs and lps corals.
