If you had dinos, you had nutrients. Dinos do not live by light alone ...
That said, the 10k had greater intensities in the longer wave lengths, which were evidently preferred by the dinos. Going back to a bulb (the 14k) with less intensity in those wavelengths should reduce the symptom (dinos). It won't, however, reduce the problem (nutrients).
