    well if arent going to upgrade fixture for a while. try to replace true actinic with a super actinic or 454nm. and replace 10k with 75.25 14k bulb.

    with all lights on it will be bright white w/ slight blue.
    454nm = blue bulb = more par
    super actinic = purple bulb 420nm

    remember any pc bulbs need to be replaced 6-9months..

    ReefGeek > Lighting > Power Compact Fluorescent > Bulbs

    if you like the blue look get the 454nm.. wont be disappointed. plus for 2 bulb shipped its only like $50 bucks anyways.. thats a tank of gas.. lol
