Bulb color mixing question ???

Hey everyone,

Just wondering what is a good mix for an Aquapod24? I am running 3 x 36w PC's and cant decided on a color scheme. Right now I am thinking one actinic, one 50/50, and one 10K. Another option might be 2 50/50's and an actinic. I have no idea what to do. I dont want too much 10k though. I am not sure what this would look like.

Thanks!

Sean

2 50/50 and one actinic. Find out what actinic are the 50/50's(lets say they are 420nm) then the actinic only you can add a 460nm.

Why dont you run all 50/50's? will bring out the perfect actinic/white mixture.
