I have 4 XR15s in G5 blue, G6 pro, G6 PRO, and g5 blue configuration in a 60 inch aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture on a 5 ft peninsula WB tank. I could put my 5th in there with g5 blue, g6 pro, g6 blue, g6 pro, g5 blue...but think 4 is enough?

I was going to do 4x ati blue plus, but dang 2 of my bulbs are dead on arrival, so I can get a refund for 2 of them. Should I get another 2 blue plus, or do 2 different bulbs?

I'm using WWC's modified AB+ spectrum it looks like.

I was going to run 5 xr15 gen 5 blue on my 60×30. I was going to do 2b+ 2 c+.
I decided to go a different route with 2 RB 50's instead.
The b+c+ are a good combo.

Does that T5 fixture have 2 plugs? Are you sure it's the bulbs, did you try the 2 that didn't work in the other slots.
