Ok here is what Im working with:
I recently replaced my 8month old XM 10ks with the Reeflux 10ks and well this is my new issue I have.
Currently I have 2 CoralVue 400W 10k Reeflux MH bulbs and 4 96W PC blues:

Here is what my tank looks like:

I like the way that my corals are growing faster with the Reeflux and all of the blue corals, and fish pop out like crazy, but as you can see from the pics the pink is too much. Everything elese in my tank is washed out with pink. The sand and even the tint to the water looks pink. So I need to change the spectrum of the Supplemental lighting.
What I have decided to do is replace my PCs with T5s.
My question is what 4 bulbs should I choose to replace my PCs with so that the rest of the colors stand out and eliminate some if not all of the pink.
Oh the T5 kit I ordered is the 4x54w HO with Icecap SLRs. Im just not sure on what bulbs I should choose. Please help.
