PC lights bulb question

[cerolost]

I know everyone is into metal halide and t5 but for right now I'm just going to be using a 130 watt coralife power compact on my 40g hex. I'm going to be replacing the bulbs and just wanna know if anyone has any bulbs they would recommend for growth and color.

There isn't a whole lot of variety with PC bulbs. I'm assuming the 130W is two 65W? Get an actinic and a 10,000K bulb. Hellolights is a reputable light supplier.

I've been running two 65W actinic and two 65W 10,000K bulbs on my 55 for the past 6 months, and I've seen growth with all my corals (SPS, LPS, mushrooms, softies, zoas). The colors aren't great compared to MH and T5, but everything is growing.

I've been to hellolights and they have 65 watt bulbs that are half actinic and half daylight, also bulbs that are just actinic and just daylight. I was just wondering what would happen instead of using one actinic and one daylight, using one daylight and one half and half would I get better growth?
