sufficient lighting?

I currently have a 10k 96W and an actinic 96 over my 45g tank. I was thinking that I would like it a little bluer, and was considering replacing the 10k with a 50/50 bulb. Would an actinic and 50/50 bulb provide enough light of the proper spectrums for most LPS corals?

thanks

With your current setup, full spectrum bulbs are the most important. If your wanting more blue I would consider adding a 3rd bulb instead of changing one out.
