I have a 36" solar extreme with four bulbs for my 65 gallon and also have three blue panorama LEDs for more color. When the white lights (2 bulbs) come on, the tank gets way to white, I love when the colors pop so I was wondering if it is a good idea to change one of the whit bulbs with another actinic, that way ill have three actinics and one white plus the blue LEDs.
Does it sound likes good plan or will have a negative effect on the tank?
Should I just increase the amount of blue LEDs instead?

Thanks
 
i think itll be just fine if you switch one of the whites for another actenic. and if your corals color weird at first give it some time they need to get used to it and then they will look great. and if it looks too blue try a 50/50 bulb instead.
 
I'd try an ati blue plus you get good par but it's still a blue bulb so your colors aren't washed out
 
ATI blue + I agree
It does have good par. a t5 actinic will give you almost none.
