Which MH/VHO combo would you go with for zoas?

[PaintGuru]

Right now I have a 10K 400W Reeflux lamp supplemented by 2-24" Actinic VHOs. Now that my focus has shifted to zoas, I would like to change the configuration a bit. I was thinking XM 20Ks (standard PFO magnetic ballast) for the main lamp, but I'm not sure if I should stick with actinics for the VHOs or choose a different lamp (daylight/5050)? Thoughts would be appreciated.

Maybe try 14k MHs and the actinic VHO's, nice blue but not to over whelming.

I would also go with 14kmh, with the vho actinics.

I recently downgraded from a 400 watt MH to a 250 Electronic ballast MH 12k Bulb.
I use a luminarc and since my tank is a corner tank, I only have to use one bulb, no suppliments at all.

The downgrade only cost me $180, I already had the Luminarc.

The reason I downgraded is because most of the people I have recieved corals from use 250W MH and I was having problems with initial bleaching. Plus, 400 W was overkill.
