I might be picking up a 70watt HQI for my prop tank which is currently using 2x36watt PC.

Color is something that I am a bit picky on so that is where I could use some bulb suggestions (I have NEVER owned an HQI before).
I currently am running straight 50/50 coralife bulbs. In general, I like the colors. I tend to prefer more white looks. I see a lot of tanks with tons of purple/blue where people try and make their tank as neon glowing as possible. I personally hate that. Some blue/purple is fine, but too much really kills it for me. I do like colors popping and good fluorescing, but no 1969 psychedelic tank for me.

Thanks!

Haven't tried the Astralux, I have a Ushio 14k on my QT and I like it OK, white with a hint of purple.
