thats pretty good lighting. Is it all one switch or are there 2 separate switches one for the 10k and one for the actinic? Those nuclear greens would look awesome under just actinics.

Did you ever get your nuclear greens?
Here's an old pic of mine, from September of last year. It's up to ten polyps now though:
