    Probably pretty close. I run 2x Blue+ 1x Fiji Purp and an ABSpecial and my tank looks similar. Not quite as blue but brighter. I can get a pic of that setup if it helps...

    edit: Ok so not too similar after looking at mine and comparing afterall..

    Ya a pic would be great.
    I just don't want to spend 100 bucks on bulbs I don't like. I want a deeper blue look than my 10k bulbs give. And my bulbs are what came with my sundial fixture so I'm assuming my par would jump quite a bit with that combo.

    White balance has a massive effect on the color a picture will turn out, so any picture is pretty unreliable to see what color it will be for you.

    +1 i can change my tanks "photo" appearance with adjustments to the white balance. i can make it look like ive got 500W shimmering halide if i wanted when i really only have 108 of T5 :)

    +2 Camera's built in software along with white balance will 100% change the reality of what the colour actually is. + everyone's monitor will display colours differently

    I would think the colour combo would yield a very very blue colour.

    I think you are looking at a deep blue with a purple tint.
