    What is the most blue bulb that i can purchase to replace the bubls in this light strip? i currently have the 460nm actinic and 10000k daylight in my fixture.. please give me the model # and bulb i can use to make my tank look BLUE, anything close to a BLUE LED look, I would be really happy!

    im not a light expert but i think ive read if you go to a 12 or 14000K bulb that they are much bluer than the 10000K bulbs....

    If you want a good 12 K crisp blue white look then use UVL actinic white and UVL super actinic in a 50/50 mix that is the best combonation I have ever found .. if you need more info ? Look at the sponsors pages lots of info and cost there .
