    So... been having a little trouble choosing bulbs that look nice but will also let the SPS grow, which is really hard with only a dual bulb fixture that only holds 16.5" bulbs!! I ended up ordering two 12,000K bulbs. From what I have seen and heard they are a beautiful white color with a tint of blue, and will be able to put out more PAR than my current single 10,000K and an actinic and grow my SPS better. I think that when I turn my blue LED accent strip on aswell it will be a nice color and hopefully the flourescents of the LPS and SPS and zoas will show nicely... or at LEAST as much as they are now with the current bulbs I have. Well... here's to hoping that I didn't just waste $55.83 with the order lol.
