I used to have one actinic when I had a smaller tank, and it did help.
However, after a very short time of using just the Iwasaki 6500k's, I grew
to like the look.  I think it looks more like what I see when diving.  I
would say they look more yellowish than green.  They aren't nearly as bad as
5500 k's though.  I just think it's a matter of opinion.  Get what you think
looks best.  Some people will say that you need the actinic's, but my corals
are just fine with the 6500k's.  FWIW
