Skip the actinic and use aqua blue + and maybe a fiji purple or ati's version of it, pink something. And depending on how blue you like it, either a daylight bulb or another blue +. I'm no T5 guy so hopefully someone else can give their opinion.

If I was you, I'd use
-1 fiji purple (~17.5 K),
-2 coral light or coral light II's (maybe one of each) they are about 14-15k
-1 Super blue/Blue plus (~22K)

Also, gt the higher end bulbs (ATI, KZ or Geismann)... you WILL notice a difference.
