Is this a good idea or???
well, 50 / 50 is a good idea, the perfect balance between 10000k and actinic. but if your tank is shallower than 24" what I would do is get one actinic and place it in the middle and the rest 10000K. that way you can have some brightness and you will get the effect of the actinic as well. But the set up is very dependent on your tank depth and what corals that you are stocking in the tank as well.
