    Buy 2 ATI Blue Plus, 1 ATI Purple Plus and 1 ATI Aquablue Special. Placement front to back
    Blue Plus
    Purple Plus
    Aquablue Special
    Blue Plus.

    Switch the Purple and Aquablue if you want a whiter look. You will be able to keep whatever you want under these bulbs if you have a good quality fixture. The Purple Plus will bring out pinks, reds and purples. The Aquablue Special is a white bulb.
