When calculating watts/gallon do actinics count the same? Of course i know you could have all 10k bulbs, but what would happen if you used only actinic? I wouldnt do that cause i like the look of the combination but would that affect coral growth?

So if i have a 4 x 96 watt ballast with 2 10k and 2 actinic bulbs, really im only putting in 192 watts in the tank?
