Actinics vs. Other bulbs

[shmibly]

I read that you lose alot of PAR with actinics, but on the the Coralife website they say that actinics promote photosynthesis. I have a 4 bulb t5 fixture from Coralife, 2 10,000K bulbs and 2 actinics, all made by Coralife. Would I get more growth and the same beautiful blue color with another type of bulb? I have heard of ATI? What do you guys think?

Blue plus
Purple plus
Aquablue special

For more blue look. Switch out the Aquablue special for a coral plus
