tank lighting replacing 4 x 55W PC lighting

ok well i wanna replace my 4 x 55w PC Jebo lighting since they are due to be changed.i was wondering what would be a nice setup i can use to have a nice looking color? should i use 2 x Actinic 03 Blue and 2 x 10,000K ?? i see there is also 50/50 or 6,700K... Also i was thinking of getting Coralife..what other brand is good too? and what sites can i order them from ? i dont have any corals, its a fish only tank with live rock and sand ..i just want a nice looking color .. but i was thinking of changing all my lights to 65w instead
thank you

For all in one pc units, Current USA are pretty good. I would use 2 10k and 2 actinic 03 bulbs, imo. But, if you are looking to upgrade, t5 fixtures really aren't that much more. Something to look into.

try reefgeek.com Thats where I got my Tek light. Great prices. Great service. Great packaging when shipping. And they should have most anything you need as far as lighting goes.

I second Reefgeek. Impeccable service. I received two broken bulbs in a shipment, and Reefgeek promptly replaced them free of any charge. I love my Tek Light 4x39 on my 46 bowfront. I keep sps lps, softies and a squamosa under them

I really like the look of the 50/50 bulbs. They are bright white with a hint of blue. I prefer this setup over the 10K and Actinic.

I have pics if you want to see them.

I have had really good luck in the past with www.hellolights.com
