T5 lighting bulbs replacement

[JCnflies]

My T5 bulbs are about due for a change. They ar e 54 watt and 6000 K. Can I get 8000K? What about 10,000K? Are those bulbs equally safe? My corals are growing fine, but I was hoping to bring oput more purple in some of SPS. Thx

Also, can I mix the bulbs like 6,000 and another 10,000? I have 6 fixtures........... 2 actinic, 3 daylight and 1 mixed.
