I have a current usa orbit set up above my 29 and the 67k-10k light it came with was just too yellow for my taste. I switched to a straight 10k and the color with the standard 71k-03actinic gives off a nice crisp white light with a slightly blue tinge. I can tell by the growth of everything in my tank since , their enjoying it too. Frogspawns are splitting on 2 heads, accelerated growth of zoo's, and much better extension on torch and my derasa. Coraline has improved too and nuisence algea has gone. I'm thinking about changing the actinic bulbs to something else. Has anyone else tried other combinations in this unit? Curious, Curtis
 
Hmm...I think I'll tag along and hear what people think, too. I have the same Orbit with the original bulbs...and can't help wonder what the best replacement bulbs might be.

Specifically, would it be possible/advisable to replace the dual actinic with a 10,000K/actinic combo for more overall white light?
