I have a Red Sea Max c250 and I'm at the 7 month mark for my light bulbs and am looking to replace them. It came with 3 whites, 2 blues, 1 pink. Size is 34" I am having a hard time finding the whites. And the 34" odd sizing doesn't help as there isn't many places who have. Marine Depot has what I need but it's discontinued.

I found the actinic at amazon and ordered three instead of 2. And they have the pink. But I cannot find the whites 10,000 I think it is. What do I use and where do I go. Here is one bulb at amazon

Will this one work. I really want something that will work with the Red Sea and be good for the corals.

Also, I saw that amazon also have led in the 34" size to replace T5's. What does that do for overall lighting to put in one or 2 of those?

I also found Coral Sun bulbs but that seems like it is the same as the blue actinic?

And this seems like the whites
Amazon also has: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HD05IE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2LDZGFAGG1QXE

I ordered the pink from amazon, received 3 blue actinics. I really don't want to have a "blue" tank. I like to feel like I'm seeing the corals as they really are--kind of like wearing sun glasses that make everything dark and I feel like I'm not seeing "what's really there".
