Lighting question :)

I know there will be many responses to this, but what do you think is the best lighting for getting the best zoanthid color? I have a 29g with an Aquatic life 4 lamp T-5 unit on my tank currently. Bulbs are the ones that came with the unit: one 420/460, bulb, one purple plus, and two 10k bulbs. I am looking at changing my bulbs and using the ATI blue special and coral plus in place of the 10k. Thoughts? Also what is a good lighting schedule? My 420/460 bulb and purple plus come on first then the 10ks, then tapering back to the actinic then moonlights.

Those sounds fine, add a ReefBrite XHO Stunner strip, or equivalent.
