what do you think of this bulb combo?

1 X GE 6500 39w daylight
1 X KZ 39w KZ Fiji purple
1 X UV 39W 10000K AquaSun
2 X ATI 39w Blue +
1 X Geissman Pure Actinic 39w

i think the blue colors will neutralize the daylight nicely, what do you think

if you remember my colors tank that from 2 ati blue specials 3 ati blue plus and 1 kz- i think yours might be whiter or yellower from that 6500 bulb.

the 6500 is like a yellow white- its a weird bulb when i had it in with the old bulbs the tank was like a 10k i guess now mine runs at a 15k+ when i look at my tank from in the house its white but when i see it from out the window its dark blue: ) its funky.
 
I think the 6500 will be slightly more yellow then the 10K but depends on the 10K in question I think. It does have great par and you will get good growth with it. With 2 blue spectrum, 1 purple spectrum, and the Fiji which is red/purple I don't think the tank will be yellow at all.

We have the Giesmann midday 6000 bulbs in our tank and there is not a yellow tint at all. We have two of them with two powerchrome actinic plus 22k bulbs. We love the way it looks, more white than yellow and when the blues are on alone the corals really pop.
