Here is my current combo that I am happy with, most of the tips on bulb selection I got from the long T5 thread on RC.

4 ATI Blue Plus
2 ATI Aquablue Special
1 Giesemann MidDay
1 UVL Actinic White

The color looks realistic to me and I am happy with growth under these lights.

My new bulb combo I am ordering is the same except instead of Actinic white I am getting KZ Fiji purple.

Thanks griz! trill has a good combo as well, you really can't go wrong as long as you pick high PAR bulbs and blend them to cover the full spectrum. Thats the benifit of t5's, you can cover a wide spectrum and mix various bulbs to come up with exaclty what your looking for.
