Hello, i recently purchased an icecap retrofit lighting (660 ballasts) for my new 90 gallon setup(48"x18"x24"). Along with the retrofit i also purched IceCap t5 bulbs. after installing the new bulbs into the light i realise it isnt at all what i was expect, as far as color goes. It is much too white! I like a rich blue color somewhat similar to 20K look. the bulbs i have installed into the light right now are as follows.

Front to back.
Twilight

Can someone pls help me to find a configuration that will more suit my taste, while still allowing a decent amount of par for growth. Im willing to purchase a couple of different bulbs ( obviously) but would also like to keep some of what i have purchased already. Thank you in advance!
