i have a new 150 m/h 10,000k now, what k do i need the Actinic to be, and do i need two blues

ATI Blue Plus
ATI True Actinic 03
Giesmann Pure Actinic 03
Giesmann Actinic Plus
UV Lighting Super Actinic

Any of these bulbs will work just fine. Actinics aren't actually measured in a Kelvin rating, but in a wavelength NM. True Actinics are in the 380-450 MN wavelength.
Actinic Plus bulbs combine the Actinic wavelenghts with a blue bulb, which gives a lil' different look than a true actinic.

witch one of the 24w 24'' actinic bulbs would go best with my 150w m/h 10,000k

my vote goes for 2 geissemann actinic plus. incredible fluorescence from corals.

I've used giessemann and aquascience, and prefer the aquascience bulbs by fauna Marin. Wider blue spectrum, more intense, maintains pinks and reds. Bulbs are rated as 22k.
