lighting problem


k i figured out that radium was a brand and not a bulb,
so here is the dilema i face and how do i go about it
i currently have 2 175w 10k ushios complemented by 2 55w actinics,
i am going to go to 2 175 ushio 20k, so i get the blue look, now what do i add where my actinics went sine i dont need to complement the 20k bulbs?
the 55w are power compacts. this is a shroom, zoo reef and i am trying to get the zoos and shrooms to glow more than they are now. any help on this would be great

6500K 67K might be a bit off color for coral
If flourescence is the issue, ior the lack of, its probably the PC arent really in the 420 nm band that sets off flourecing pigments. Not sure if there is a good one in 55w, it was fairly recent that 96 w came in a decent version.(vho rules )
