"?" before getting IceCap Retro

[CaptainK]

Hi Everyone,
I am like 99.9% sure I will be getting the IceCap 660 with 3 24" VHO kit. But I have a few questions:

1) What arrangement of bulbs should I look into, my choices are:
- Super Actin
- Actin White
- Aqua Sun
I was just considering getting one of each? I am not sure but I think they are URI bulbs (Will be getting retro kit from P.A.)
I will mainly have softies, shrooms, polyps, a brain, and possibly a few LPS in the near future besides my current green brain.

I am currently running 6 VHO bulbs, 2 each of Aquasun, Actinic, and Actinic White. URI does not publish the spectral output of their bulbs, which makes it tough to judge the ideal combination. I personally like having the Aquasuns because with just the Actinic White and Actinic bulbs, the tank just looks too blue to me.

The Aqua sun is a 10k bulb
The Actin White is a 50/50 bulb
The Super Actin is a 03 bulb

I just ordered a 3 bulb set up with one of each bulb to get more of a white light than the suggested 2-actin whites with one super actin bulb which I believe would be a little to blue for my liking.

The set up is suppose to be here tommorow but wount get set up till next mounth when the stand is done.
