Were the ones you took out 20k?
I ran 14k when I was running MH with actinics
Also you can change your actinics to a different spectrum as that might be cheaper to change tank color.

If it was me. I would change the halide to either a 10 k or a 14 k and run 2 blue t5 and 2 actinic t5.
If you want to change just t5. Depending on brand if bulbs just pull the blue and change to a whiter bulb

I got tired of changing out the bulbs constantly so I switched to LED's, tank is doing outstanding, with great continuous growth. I don't have to worry about the tank being blue for 2 months and then not blue for another 4 months.
To each there own though. I did very well with the set up Jeremy shared above. I think it was the aquaticlife light system. Great set up over my 150d, gave plenty of punch to get all the way down.
