Brand of bulbs?

[juanro]

It's the first time that I'm going to change the bulbs of my tank, currently have the 2 Actinics and 2 10,000k that came with the system.
Where I live (Puerto Rico) I can only seem to find 2 brand of bulbs, Coralife and Aqueon, be they 50/50, 10,000k, or Actinics.
Which would be the "best" brand to choose from?
Should I keep running with 2 Actinics and 2 10,000k, or can I change it to get a better color without risking not feeding corals enough?

Oops, T5.

Whatever bulb you select you need to match the watts. My T5 won't accommodate a 50/50 bulb, my T5 HO has a 56w thin two pronged fluorescent bulb. A purple bulb replacing a 10K will make the colors better.
