Default Lighting issue

This is seriously driving me nuts! I have done 4 trips now to exchange and change light bulbs and still don't have the right ones!! I am mainly to blame, especially after today, as I got confused with what I did have-but this is getting really frustrating.

I got home and just checked the lightbulbs. As it turns out, I gave the wrong information today so my combo of lights is wrong. I now have 1 Fiji purple, 3 superblue and the 2-15,000. I thought I had a different combo.

Im not sure what to do from here, if I'm ok sticking to that, or if I should return some of the superblue for something else, and if something, what for?

Thanks a bunch!

Are you going for growth or colour I would probably throw a 10 k or another 14 k coral lite bulb n there instead of 3 blues.

Just try it out and see if you like the color, realistically there is not right or wrong bulb combination, well within reason I guess.
