T5 bulb recommendations

[Nemo2007]

I have a Nova estreme 8 bulb T5 setup (does not have individual reflectors). I am interested in replacing the bulbs soon. Any suggestions on excellent T5 bulbs out there? :?:

Will I be able to get my money's worth out of them considering the lack of individual reflectors? :?:

UVL aquasun for the daylights, maybe ATI blue plus for the actinics.

I am using

ATI blue plus nice blue color
ATI blue Plus
KZ coral bulb Nice bright white
KZ figi purple Purplish dim light
KZ Coral Bulb
UVL AquaSun Kinda reddish light
ATI Blue plus
ATI Blue plus

in my 8 bulb tek fixture

Seems nice but not nearly as blue of a combo as I when I had radiums and PC actinics. With that combo I get an overall 12K look.

I have used geiseman (sp?) pure actinic + also and they have a dull blue/purple look to them
