T5 Bulb Suggestions

Well I was relieved to find out that my 2.5 month old T5 light fixture was not broken, just one of the bulbs burned out:woohoo: Anyway, since I have to get a new bulb I thought I would ask the experts if they have any suggestions on what bulbs or configuration to use. This is only a 4 bulb light. I originally had 2 10,000K White lights and 2 of the 460nm Blue lights in there. One of the 10K burned out. Don't know if there is much I can do with a 4 light fixture but figured asking never hurts. The fixture has two built in timers that control 2 of the lights each so that also limits things further. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a 4x39w Tek Light t5 fixture, i love it, the light it puts out over my 46g bowfront is amazing! The blue from the blue +'s is simply nuts! I find that these do give a little bit of a yellow look overall when they daytime's are on but I'm also experiencing a diatom bloom at the moment from disturbing the sandbed lol.
