Nice combo .
U did say u wanted to get rid of the yellow look .Don't let the choices given fool you . The combo jhoff suggested will give great color and it will not be lacking in punch .

The 6500K is in there for growth. That is the best kelvin temperature for coral growth since your using T5s its a great opportunity to throw a bulb like that in the mix without sacrificing your color. If it were my choice, I would go with what jhoff suggested, its a nice mix of everything and should give you a nice blue. That figi purple will add a little actinic as well to really help your colors pop.
