Lighting Temp Change - reducing Actinics

Hi All,

I have been running 2x65w duel actinics and 2x65w dual daylights (6700K and 10000K) PC lighting over my 48" 60gal tank.

Thus far, my 2 LPS corals and 1 RBTA have been thriving, but I think I am going to change the lighting to add a little more PAR.

I am leaning towards the follwoing combination and would like to hear your opinions.

2x65w 50/50 (actinics and 10000K daylight)
2x65w 6700 daylight

I am thinking that this will add significant PAR and "brighten" the apparence of the tank, but I am concerend that it will look to yellow. Will I have enough blue to balance the light?

I know it is pretty subjective, but I would hate to spend $100+ is lighting to not like the look of the system.

Thanks!

JOhn
