Question metal halide

Hello,

I just installed a dual 175 watt hamilton mh lighting system. I'm using hamilton 10000k bulbs. I was told that 10000k would be a white looking light. I ran it for about an hour and it has a yellow look to it. Are all 10000k's yellow looking? I'm also using 2 46.5 super actnic vho's to ad a blue look. But, I still see the yellow.

The tank is 90 gallons. I'm new at using mh lighting. Would appreciate any suggestions.

Give the bulb time to burn in, it will burn whiter after 100-150 hours.
