My main tank has 2x 250watt 10k Mh with 2x vho 110watt actinics the tank is a 90 which is 24" deep or tall. i get good growth and the colors on the corals are nice but I am thinking that maybe a bluer Mh buld would be nice for color. i am not really liking the yellow look although with the actinics it does look better.

Bro,

if you are using a IceCap 660 ballast for your VHOs, why not add another 2x110W?? I understand that it can support up to 440Ws, just nice for 4 tubes!!

The two additional tubes should give you enough blue spectrum to cover the yellowness...

Thanks Gina...

but that's too high an accolade for me... still slowly stocking up the tank to add more colours... there are actually more space to be covered and more growth needed!!

Thanks for the idea, I am not using the ice cap but I do have another aro electronic ballast just sitting around here which can be used. I have everything I need to do it also end caps etc.
thanks again for the help and sharing the info.
