Ok, I have a currnet-usa fixture with 4-54w actinics and 2-250w de MH. The MH bulbs are 9 month old Phoenix 14k. The actinics are stock current current actinics and only around 3 months old. I would like some suggestions as to which bulbs to use. My reef is totally mixed, zoas, lps, sps, clams. I do like more of a blue look but nothing too blue. I was considering maybe trying megachrome 22.5k but the price is too high for my budget.

How does this sound? Reeflux 20k halides, 2 uvl 454 and 2 uvl 03's. From what I hear the reeflux 20k have great par and color for a 20k and can be bought for around $60. The uvl can be bought at a local store. Any tips or suggestions?

Been a little while since I had my 48" Outer Orbit fixture, but the best combo I had was:

2 x 250 Phoenix 14K
2 x Korallin Aqua blue
1 x Korallin Fiji Purple
1 x Current 420nm actinic

Awsome color..IMHO...and great growth. This was on a 90 SPS.
