Help choose light combo (UVL vs. Current USA)

[porksoda]

Well I have a 24" 2x65W PC light fixture and I would like to upgrade light bulbs. I am considering 2 brands. My livestock will and is consisting of mainly soft and LPS corals. I do have a Beaded anemone but I will feed more often.

Brand one (UVL aka PC-R):
1-65W 12000K (12K) Actinic White (built-in internal reflector) Item Code: PC5643 $23.99
1-65W 420nm Super Actinic (built-in internal reflector) Item Code: PC5644 $23.99

Shipping- $7.99
Total w/tax and shipping- $55.97
From MarineDepot

Brand two (Current USA):
1-65W 6700ºK/10000ºK 65W SunPaq Dual Daylight Item Code: CD-21119 $19.19
1-65W 420/460nm 65W SunPaq Dual Actinic Item Code: CD-21121
$19.19

Shipping- $8.99
Total w/tax and shipping- $47.37
From Foster & Smith Aquatics

Price really isn't a concern, but saving money is always good too.
I have been doing research on them both and I know they are both good brands but I just cannot decide!
If you have any other suggestions of light bulbs brands let me know.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks alot for all the help!

Could you do me a favor and post the links to the actual products rather than the whole web site?
I'd like to see what kind of bulbs etc. without having to hunt through the whole site looking for the exact fixture youve described.

Definately the first set of bulbs . Its bluer and will look much better to the eye.
The second bulb will be very yellow and grow things faster thought.
If I were worried about enough light, Id consider buying two of the 12K bulbs and skip the actinic.

Anyone else.....?

Are these going over the 10 gallon? If so I would agree with Duane, but either route you go should be plenty of light for what you are trying to grow.

I did some searching and I came across a user that used 1-50/50 bulb and 1- actinic. His 10g looks great!
OceanNano 10g build

Anyone think that would be a good combo?
