I have a 4x96W PC over my 75 gallon reef tank with two actinics and two Daylights which were bought from the LFS. The light bulbs have been used for 10 months, so I need to order new light bulbs. I checked the type of light bulbs, and I found the Daylights are 6700k. My question is should I keep using the 6700k? Can I switch to 8800k or 10000k? Which type of Daylight light bulb is good for the coral when being used with the actinic light bulb? Any advice will be appreciated.

My tank is small(20G ) and I'm using 4x15w fluorescent strips (they do a great job for my size).
So,this is what I'm using:
- sun-glo = 4200k
- day light = 6700k
- power-glo = 18000k
- marine-glo = aprox. 20 000k (not listed,but is the blue one)
Generaly people with bigger tanks use in combination the 6700k (white) and 20 000k (blue).
