it seems to be a little bit brighter than the standard 40 watt the tank came with, but what can i put to make it a bit brighter or more blue, the one i have now is 48 inch and takes up the whole top of my tank in the hood with the filter in the back and me having to lift the front of the glass top for feeding

The only way to add more light is to get more bulbs or more powerfull bulbs like PC, VHO, or MH.
The bulb you have is OK but having 1 50/50 bulb over a 75 will not light the tank up like it should.
Seriously consider adding more light. You will be much happier with the way the tank looks.
