14K hamiltons with pcs?
I just purchased some 175W Hamiltons for my tank. I was previously running all 10K bulbs. The corals look much better but I am not used to the blue yet. If I switch my 2x65 Watt actinic pc bulbs out for 10K or 10K/actinic pc do you think this will change the color at all? I'm using the pcs for dusk dawn effect now, they don't change the color of the tank with the halides on.
Any thoughts would be appreciated... |

What is the K of the new bulbs?
It might change the color of the tank, but before you do anything I would let the new bulbs burn in first -- 2 weeks should work.
