i've got:
ATI Blue Plus
UVL Super Actinic
UVL Aquasun
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue
in my setup, the super actinic is a violet color, the aquasun is the white light, but the other's are very blue. maybe go with my bulbs but only one blue plus

try replacing the 10k with an ati blue plus it gets better par numbers and should add some blue to your look.
the uvl bulbs tend to look better when used with an icecap ballast. the super actinics metioned above as being purple tend to look more like the blue plus when used with an icecap ballast. uvl aqua sun lose there pinkish glow and tend to be a crisp white. look at the ati bulbs you should be able to find the for 22 bucks at a few places if you look.
