You should be able to get 2x 54w T5's to get more of an even cover of the 4' tank.

2x actinic 54w t5's with 14k mh

That would be my vote. Maybe even try ATI Blue Plus.

Okay. I'm going to do the 14ks. Are the Phoenix Hexarc double ended bulbs? i'm running single ended.

Doe5ia14...that's what i'm gonna do. one ATI Blue Plus and the other Korallen Zucht Fiji Purple. That will definitely give it lots of pop!
