Well i am in the process of replacing the bulbs on my coralife PC fixture. It is a 260W fixture with 4 65w bulbs. It came with 2 10000k and 2 Actinic 03 bulbs. I am planning on replacing with 2 10000k bulbs like it came with, but when it comes to the actinic i am torn. Should i put the actinic 03 bulbs back in or one of these others that i am considering. The problem i have with the actinic 03 is that they r very purple and the tank looks a little funny and dull when just the actinics are on. On the website that i am buying the lights from they have all the bulbs the 10000k are represented as white, the actinic 03 as purple and the 7100K as blue. They make a actinic 03/7100k bulb or just a 7100k bulb. Would using one of these two either the 50/50 or just the 7100k be beneficial or detrimental to the tank. Is one better than the other or should i just get the actinic 03 again. Oh yea and there is a 1000k/actinic 03 50/50 also or is that to much 10000k and not enough actinic light along with the other 10000k bulbs.
