Lighting question, do they make this for PC's

[cam78]

I have Coralife PC's and was wondering if they make the 14k rather than the 10 for my PC's? This would make it more blue correct? If not, that is what I am looking for.

I couldn't find any 10Ks, but if you are looking for more blue you could put in a true actinic, and then All Glass makes a 10K/actinic bulb, where one side is 10k and the other is actinic in the "same" bulb. Why do you want more blue? What bulbs do you currently have in it?

I think its 1 96 watt actinic and 1 96 watt 10k. More blue makes the color pop more in the coral. Its very white and bright in the tank.

Yeah, you could look into getting the half and half bulb then. But, while blue makes it pop, white makes it grow. i don't know if those bulbs are square pin or straight pin, but if you go to a certain pet supply companies website, you should be able to find them.

So then what am I looking for exactly? What do I ask for? Sorry, don't really know what they are called

Oops, it wasn't All Glass, sorry.
