I have a 55g tank and sold new hood, going back with old hood and lighting as no longer have sps in my tank. So now I have one 250W XM 10k halide and two 40w NO actinic tubes but ordered a small VHO ballast today to swap out the NO tubes with VHO. Question is what tubes should I use? Should I go with two actinic VHO along with the MH bulb or could I use one 10K VHO and one actinic VHO? What would be best? Only softies and lps in the tank now and probably for quite some time. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'd do two actinic.
