14k 175w+2 Actinics-What do you think? please help

55g reef=The thing is that I bought a used MH socket and ballast from a guy, and he told the bulb he gave me was a 10k 175, but I could not tell b/c the letters had been rubbed off(wear and tear), +I was new to MH at the time, so for about 8 months I thought I was using a 10k bulb, till I went out and bought a brand new 10 bulb, and that bulb had a yellow tent, even after the burn-in time, so then I knew that my original bulb was not 10k, and soon after I found out that it was infact a 14k bulb, so I now have a almost new 10k bulb that I dont need, b/c I went out and bought a brand new 14k! contents=acros,clam, shrooms, leathers, frogspawn, hammer, zooas, montiopora

Yes, is there anyone who has used that lighting combo, and if so, how did things turn out?
