    Ok well before i go out any buy another 11000k i just want to make sure that i will not be sacraficing needed PAR for the look of the tank. Just to remind, i plan on trading out a 6500k with an 11000k.

    Well Bruce, I'll go out on a limb and say that according to This link that I found, the top fish in your photo is an Ocellaris, and the bottom one is a Percula. (but they are both cute:) )

    Your corals require the light from the bluer end of the spectrum more so than the red end. The red end of the spectrum enhances microalgae growth. Zooanthellae require the bluer spectrum light more!!!(Eric Borneman, Delbeeck and Sprung)8)

    Par is par but your nearly doubling the amount of light in your tank so I think you would be cool with the 11000K.
