T5 bulb choice for reef

This may belong in lighting/equipment section, but it is reef related.
I have decided on 8x39w for a 95g reef tank....36 x 24 x 25.
My current tank uses 2x65 acintics and 2x65 10k.
I like this combo of lights, but with the new setup, I might like just a little more blue, not much.
Any bulb suggestions for this 8x39w setup?
Thanks...

the icecap retrokit i found is 20 inches wide,,, the tank will be 24 inches.
i've been having a tough time deciding between this setup and a MH/PC retrokit with 1x150 Hqi and 2 65w pc lamps. The total would be 280w....Not sure if that would be enough for the 95g,,,,
Really do not want to go with a solely mh with 250 or 400w due to the heat factor.
