I would go 2 - 250 watt 65k with your actinics. The 65k have an excellent
par rating and would be a great choice. Or, if you want to really see for
yourself which you like, get one of each and do an expirement for the next 9
months. Add one of each type on each side, and watch your corals. See which
they (and you) like best, then when you replace your bulbs, do 2 of the same
type.
FWIW/IMO/blah blah blah....
