I like the color that reflects back to my eyes when using 14K MH with Super Actinic/Actinic-White fluorescent tubes. It's the little bit of Actinic-White that makes the difference. They are available at reefgeeks.com

I would probably run this bulb for the MH:

and then run 2 straight actinic PC bulbs.

The bulbs in the tank that i am setting up right now are old and need to be replaced.  Currently the canopy has 1-175w MH, unsure right now of the bulb, and 2 65w PC's- 1 actinic and 1 10,000k.  LFS suggested getting a 10000k for the MH and switching both PC's to actinics. 
What do you guys think?
Gonna be stocking the tank with corals and stuff soon.
