^^I think he wanted to see tanks WITHOUT actinics. So just 10K which IMO is way too "yellowish white". Although it depends on what colors you are keeping. I found reds and pinks kind of look good under lower K ratings (same with purples) but greens and blues look much better in higher K ratings.

with or without actinics is fine i like the white look from the bulb ive had 10ks 14ks 15ks 20 ks u name it an imo my corals looked the best under the 10ks (never used radiums maybe i should try those next)

XM10ks 250Watt Bulbs. The best 10k out there in my opinion. They have a nice white color instead of the yellowish color most 10k's have.

BTW Electronic ARO ballast, Lumenarc Reflectors, SE Bulbs, no atinics.

here are some pics of my 200 cube a couple weeks after transferring everything from a previous tank. Lighting is a single 400w XM 10k on a ice cap electronic ballast. The tank is lit for 8 hours a day.
