MH Lighting Question

[killagoby]

I recently have given up on my Solaris light fixture b/c of the ongoing issues with it. Because of my space constraints I had to go with Current's Outer Orbit HQI/T5 150w lighting fixture (internal ballasts). I know I could have done better but I have no where to put external ballasts. I've had a Sunpod in the past before and it did just fine on my old 29 gallon. Currently I have a 70 gallon Oceanic Tech Tank with all LPS, Zoas, and Mushrooms. I will keep the 2 460nm and 2 420nm T5 bulbs in the fixtures. I want to swap out the 150w 10K MH bulbs with bluer bulbs. Currently I run my Solaris at 100% blue and 33% day whites. It gives the look of a 20K bulb. Any suggestions for kelvin and brand of MH bulb for the Current Outer Orbit fixture?

I just bought the same fixture (although mine is 24 inches wide) and I like it.

I have a 10,000K Ushio and feel it's a bit too white/almost yellow on its own.

I saw a Radium 20,000K (with PC actinics) the other day and liked the looks of that a lot.

Also, I have a 250 watt Phoenix 14,000K bulb.. and like the look of that.
