lighting help!

Okay...looking to sometime replace my light bulbs in the near future. I have the 260 watts of PC Odyssea/jebo lighting system (the new kind).It is 4x65 watts, 2 actinic, 1 10k, 1 daylight. I was wondering if i could put higher wattage bulbs in the lighting system, like 80 watts or something? Can anyone give me suggestions of what to buy so my lights dont look "yellow", and they look more clear, with a tint of blue...something that looks nice. Also, if you could tell me where I can buy them at, and how much $ im looking at. thanks for your help!

you cant run higher wattage bulbs, the ballast isnt strong enough, i have the same lighting as you and my tank looks pretty blue, so mabey your bulbs are just really old, your best bet would be to get 2 actinic bulbs, and 2 1000k bulbs, your probley looking at about $40 total
