I kinda like the blue.Ive been to my lfs and his tanks have like a pink tint to them,is there a way i can mimic it?i currently have 230w of pc(2 12k days and 2 acintic)if i went on the blue side would i just have to retro like 2 more bulbs in canopy to bring out more blue?

There are 2 different actinic colors 420nm and 460nm, one is more purple and the other more blue. Can't remember which is which though. I also do know if it makes that much of a difference.....
