1 of each, the 2x50/50 may be too much lite. I'm running 1x420 and 1x10k. Able to grow frogspan under it.

i saw currentUSA bulbs that looked nifty.

all are 50/50 but in a weird way

i was looking at getting one bulb thats
half 6700k half 10k

the other bulb would be half 420 half 460?

DO IT if you want the PC. The 6.7k is the best light to grow corals and 10k is more pleasing to the eye. the more blue, the more color will pop! Just realize that they are pc's.
