I want to make a change to a bluer look in my tank. Right now I have 2 250w 10k and 1 175w 15k. I want to switch my 250w out to a higher kelvin bulb to give it a bluer tint but I don't want to lose my corals do to lower lighting. Any suggestions.

I am not sure of the par reading on phoenix 14K but I have been turning off my atinics after the halides come on and cannot tell a differance. They put off a very nice blue tint.
