20k will have a lower par than the 10k and coral growth will be slower.I prefer a 12 or 14k.kind of a happy medium.20k`s will also give You a blue look.Corals pop pretty good under 20k`s.

i agree, if you switch those 10k's out for 12k's it will make a pretty big difference.
i run 2 blue's, 1 purple, and 1 12k. it gives a pretty blue look, but i like it. |
