Need opinion on lighting

OK, I have a Orbit light fixture with 2 dual daylight 65 watt bulbs and 2 dual actinic 65 watt bulbs that came with the fixture. The daylight bulbs are 6700/10k and the dual actinics are 420/460 nm. The daylights are in the front and the actinics are in the back. I need your opinions on the replacements. Should I replace what I have with just new ones or should I go with the dual 10k daylight/460nm actinic in one bulb and just go with four of these? I have all kinds of corals, soft & hard, 75 gallon tank and 2 250 watt MH's. Also 2 clams.I hope this isn't too confusing. Thanks for the help

it depends on what you like to look at..
i'd go 2x10k 2x420actinic
make sure what ever you decide to get you acclimate and stagger the installments of the bulbs

change 1 daylight and one actinic
then wait a week and do the rest.

I just don't know if I want the daylights in the front and the actinic in the back or if I would rather have the daylight and actinic in one bulb. these bulbs are like two bulbs put together. and about 22" long there are four of them. I agree staggering the installation would definately decrease the shock of the new brighter bulbs. Thanks for the reply.
