    Are we talking about a retro setup in a canopy, or is this a fixture? the 80 watt bulbs are a foot longer than the 54 watt ones.

    For the color combo if you like the blue, I would do something like

    ATI Blue Plus
    KZ Fiji purple
    ATI Aqua Blue
    ATI Blue plus

    There is a T5 Q & A thread stickied in this forum, you might want to ask there and get the good doctors advice.

    I would go with that above combo as well.
    I've been running t5s for like 6 years now.

    I concur.. two of those blue+, a fiji, and the 10 - 12k will give you plenty of growth. The fiji bulb gives you a pinkish tint, and brings out red and purple insanely!
