reason i am having trouble is beacause there are so many variations of actinics and because i dont have first hand experience with them i dont know how they look so i am just looking for suggestions on a combo.

Fiji purples are actually rather white to the eye. Alone they would not give you much blue.

i would go with just the fiji;s and your 14k, the colors of the corals should be noticable out of water in 2weeks. imo
