Any T5s that are close to Phoenix 14K in presentation?

[acroholic]

I have a 2 x 250 watt HQI and 4 x 54 watt actinic T5 setup. I like the Phoenix 14Ks by themselves, and thought if I replaced the actinic T5s with a daylight type T5 bulb, I might get more PAR to my corals.

Anyone know of any T5s that would complement a 250 watt Phoenix 14K DE?

Is there any biological benefit of actinics for corals, or is it mostly aesthetic?

Ultraviolet Resources makes a T5 in 14 K, but I have not researched it a lot yet.

Aesthetic I believe. You are going to get some extra PAR from the light source either actinics or 10k, no way around that.
