I would never run it without supplements, too white and dull. You really need some Actinic to balance it out and make the colors "pop".
For the PAR these bulbs put out they cant be beat.

I was thinking about running 2x250 10k XMs (on icecaps) w/ a single 96w PC Actinic (tank is 36"), would the PC be overpowered?

thanks,

Matt
