for the pc's, swap in 420nm actinic bulbs. for the t5's swap in ATI blue+ bulbs (460nm). and for your mh's, how blue would u like your tank, i personally like the xm 20k. along with the ati blue+ and 420nm pc, things will really start pop

then that will be a great combo. you wont be able to see the 420nm, but the xm with the blue+ will give a nice color already. the 420 is something your corals will appreciate from you. you'll hit the major wavelengths and should see better coloration from your corals
