What should I choose? I am re-doing my 90 gallon reef lighting. I have (2) VHO 110 actinics and (2) 175w halide bulbs

I am trying to figure out if I want 14 or 10k bulbs...

My current setup is 10k 175w bulbs and 2 CF 96w bulbs. And I do not think it is blue enough. I was told the VHOs that i will be installing will work allot better then my CFs I have now but not sure if i should go 14k also... I also don’t want it to blue...

I also read that 10k bulbs produce more usable light for corals then 14k bulbs... so i am leaning for the 10k bulbs and hoping that the VHOs will be better then the CFs

Any suggestions?

Niko do you think the 14k will be ok with my actinic or will they be to much? I think it might be good but i would feel better if someone told me that before i tried it lol
