Adding actinic lighting to a AP24

I have an AP24 with the 150w MH fixture. Great setup but I want some fluorescence that Im not getting from just the MH.

There are these small sized PC actinic bulbs that probably fit in the small clamp on fixtures. Has anyone done this to add some actinics? A clamp on light you see for these smaller nanos thats just running an actinic. Did it help your corals colors?

I'm trying to figure out that same question myself.

here is an idea. one of the LFS around here has one on their counter with one of the JBJ vampire units. That aside, they took a 20" coralife T5 fixture and replaced the daylight bulb with another actinic, so it has two actinics in it. it seems to be working out great for them.
