My Lighting Info:

Metal Halides: Bulbs - Ushio 14K (5 months old) powered by a Galaxy Electronic Ballast w/ Lumenmax3 Reflectors.

T5's: Bulbs - 1x Giessmann Actinic+ & 1x Giessmann True Actinic powered by Hagen GLO Retro Ballast w/ TEKII Retro Reflectors.



As you can see, a dramatic difference. Even more than I was expecting, but it actually provided me with the color I was hoping to get.

nice that made a whole lot of difference with your actinics it became more crisp and less yellow.

4 bulbs of fiji may be a bit too much. been reading about ati and uri, may go with one of them and the fiji or maybe the Giessmann.
