Update
Metal Halides are finally on, Canopy altered and holding two 60" VHOs. Current bulbs are 2 250w 10ks and the 2 VHOs- 1 Actinic and 1 50/50 which helps the color a little.
Plan on replacing all bulbs with 2 250w 12k Reefux or 14k phoenix and the VHOs will both be actinic. Just have to buy them all.
All powered by ICECAP ballast- 2 250watt MH ballast and 1 660.
Rockwork also a bit different. There are now 4 different SPS in the tank, do not ask me to name them. I have no idea.
Some pics to show the color and the setup
With VHOs on the tank, 10k MH are extremely yellow. UGLY

With the VHOs on it helps a little

All in all, im very happy with everything. Once i get a different color spectrum bulb it will give it a more crisp white/blue look.
