    ok, maybe i wasnt very clear.... from what i understand, the greater the spectrum, the "bluer" the bulbs runs... I thought with a blue spectrum, i can get the vibrant colors, or is that just not enough.... would i have to grab an extra balast for actinics?

    Sry if i ran in a circle there...

    The extra k will give you the blue you wont with out changing your ballast

    But i do like my actinic i use VHO that i believe is the best for just actinic
    and you do have to have a separate ballast to run them
