I have a four bulb config controlled in pairs. I need to replace bulbs and want to know where to go....I already replaced the actinics with 420K because I like the purple look early and late in the day. What K rating should I get to balance them out and get the clearest, brightest daytime feel?

Thanks

Cheers,
 
10k's mixed with actinics, will get great color and growth, and not too yellow or red. Overdrive them, and get the Icecap reflectors. You will then be good to go.
 
Every bulb is going to act different for every lighting unit depending on the type of ballast and reflectors the unit uses.

I had GrimReefer on ReefCentral.com configure my bulbs based on my Tek T5 6 bulb configuration.

You might want to send him your information and see what he says about you. I'm putting a T5 bulb group buy, but it's shipping out today. If your interested in getting in on it call Greg at ReefGeek today.
