i have a 60g aquarium that is going to be planted. i have purchased a "48" T5 Trio Deluxe 162W Plant Version Odyssea" fixture. it came with 3 54 watt 6500k bulbs.
i have found a place that sells these bulbs:
6500K - Natural daylight. Perfect for planted setups.(have these)
10000K - Crisp white color, full spectrum daylight.
Actinic 460nm - Emits blue hue. Ideal for coral photosynthesis.
Freshwater - Pink-ish hue providing ideal energy and spectrum for
photosynthesis.

What combination of these bulbs do you recommend. the fixture is able to turn on 1,2, or all 3 bulbs at any given time.
 
I recommend purchasing Geisemann bulbs. The aquaflora and midday are a perfect combo IMHO. Two middays and an aquaflora would probably give you the best look... not too yellow/red, but not too white.

Thanks on the recommendation. This is the kind of answer I'm needing. Not only the general name of bulb but also the specific kind
