10k t-5 vs 18k t-5's

[newtoreef_tank]

i know with mh's corals grow faster with 10k bulbs over 14-20k
i was wonderin if it was the same with t-5 cuz i have 18k t-5s and i'm think of putin 10k t-5 so my corals will grow faster.

Is there a name on the 18K lamp? The Aquablue lamps have a lot of PAR. Corals use blue light more efficiently so a powerful blue lamp will give you good growth.
