    Those are great bulbs. You might find that combination will give you a whiter look. Depending on the corals you have and your preference in light color, if you're looking for some more pop with the colors and a bluer/purple look you could try something like...

    1xATI Blue Plus
    1xATI Aquablue special
    1xATI Blue plus
    1xKC Fiji Purple (this bulb has good par too)

    Reef Geek will have the best prices as they are the sole importer of ATI in the US.. I have to buy my lamps for the store through Reef Geek...
    +1
    Its KZ Fiji Purple :) Actually its a pink looking lamp... I would if you went with that mix, swap the Blue+ and the Fiji purple...

    2 AB+ and 2 Blue+ will be a crisp white look with a nice hint of blue... Nice look in my eyes...
    I like my Fiji Purple but would never do more than one in a mix.
    In my eyes they are kind of pricey... $10 or more than ATI is kind of silly if you ask me.
