it gives the tank a more pleasing look, 40 of my 120W are actinic, even with
all powerglo's the tank looks yellow, now its very pleasing, I also have the
actinics and not the powerglo's turn on in the morning and evening for
sunrise/sunset

Why do you want actinic lights? They are meant for reef tanks, and aren't
generally recommended for freshwater plants. Some people even think they
cause
algae.

You'd probably be better off posting this question to to a marine or reef
newsgroup. They're the ones who have experience with actinics.
