Hello all you lighting buffs.. I also posted this in the newbie thread, but thought it couldn't hurt to post here as well.
Can you please answer this question, or tell me where to go to find out the answer?
For a power compact bulb, would you get more PAR lighting from:

A: 2 50/50 10k/actinic blue bulbs

or

B: 1 10k and 1 50/50 10k/actinic blue bulb

Just in case it matters, I will most likely be getting the bulbs from nanotuners.com in their Nanocube 12DX 3.24 mod. With either option I will be getting an actinic blue bulb as well.
Also, if you feel like laying your opinion down, which option would look better for the tank? I don't like my tanks to look like blacklights, nor do I like them looking bleached out.. I like a happy medium.
Thanks!
