which bulbs should I use?

ok, so I got a bulk pack of new Power compacts for my tank.

What combo should I use?
Here is what I have
two Actinic
one 10,000K
one 12.000K
one 6,7000K

I have been running two 10K and two actinic for the last year....

but what would be best for coral growth/health?

THANKS!
