My fixture (260w PC) has three switches. One for Actinics, the other for I'm guess the brighter white lights, and the other for moonlights. Please help me find a right combination, as I explain what I want in the following.
I was wondering what was a good combination of light temps to bring out the brighter greens and yellow in corals and fish. I notice that with my cheap bulbs I have right now (Odyssea), my actinics bring out my zoanthids and other brighter colors like the Yellow Tang. My green striped mushroom even glows!!! This is what I want, BUT from a better bulb!!!
I know that any of these bulbs are better than Odyssea:

Whats a good combinatino from here: http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium...information.asp to make some of the living things glow in my tank, while also having the ability of keeping bright crisp light?
Would it be better to get the Actinic 03 bulb for my actinic switch, or the Actinic 03/7100K?
What about for the whiter lighting? Would a pure 10K bulb do?
Or would it be better to use a 7100K/10k bulb?
What would you rate the Odyssea bulbs at as far as actinic goes???
THANKS!!!
