i currently have two sets of lights on my tank, i have a 21w regular out put with 1 actinic and 1 10kk, and a 39w high output wit 1 actinic 1 10kk
currently the 21w is at the back side of the tank and the 39 is near the middle
-i wanted to buy another 21w actinic bulb and remove the 10kk on the 21 w fixture and on the 39 w H/O remove the actinic and buy a 10kk bulb for it
but i was wondering if the actinics at the back and the 10kks at the front would make the tank look weird ( like the lights wouldnt mix because the two types of bulbs are grouped rather than steifled)
dose anyone do this or have any input?????

IMO I don't think you will have a problem with the lights "looking weird" I believe they should blend but I really don't see why you want to do this.
It sounds like you have a nice "blend" already.

It would be helpful if we knew the size of the tank and the height of your lights from the water and what kind of tank is this (reef only ,fish only, both?) before making a better decision.
If this is a big tank you might need more wattage if the reason you are changing to the 10K's in front is for the corals.
