I have a theory/question that if it can be debunked or proven would be great.

Since Red+Blue+Green=White what would happen if in a 6 lamp T5 system one were to use 2 lamps of these three colors. Would it be beneficial or detrimental?

Philips currently makes a green red and blue F54T5HO

p/n 14640-7 = Red
14641-5 = Green
14642-3 = Blue

Test the PAR comming out of those and try it.
I would guess the result would leave bands of each spectrum in a tank, but as you can see from the graph. All those colors are already in the aquablue
