Heckeng's 90 gal Zoa and Ric tank startup pics

[heckeng]

Hey all, this is my 90 gallon Zoa and Ricordia tank start. I had started a thread earlier but I mentioned an internet vendor so it got moved to the vendor review section but I wanted to have a thread in the Zoa section, so here it is

As stated earlier, it is a 90 gallon tank, lighting is 2x250 10k Reeflux halides and 2 T5 actinics. 30 gallon sump with a Super Reef Octopus 1000 skimmer. Pretty simple.

Nice selection but a bit busy looking. Really digging the Ricordeas!

Should look good once it grows in. I would put some 14k or 20k halide bulbs to make those things pop!

I'm kind of having a dilemma on the bulbs. I really like the white light so I can see good reds/oranges/yellow's without them washing out and turning gray under the blue light, but I know I'm missing some cool blues and fluorescence too. I did have Aqualine 10k bulbs which were holy cow bright, but a little more yellow. I do really like the color of the Reeflux 10k as they are just a crisp white. I'm not sure what bulbs would be more blue but not fully blue--I do not want a blue tank. The Reeflux 12k and Phoenix 14k look about the same--very blue tanks.

Any recommendations on bulbs that are maybe a little more blue, but not overall a blue light?
