yes, if you are changing from 250 Iwasaki to 250 10000K, you are mostly doing so for looks.. the 10000K will still grow your corals so don't think that your growth will stop if you drop a little par. this also depends on what ballast you are driving your bulbs with.. if you use a MH ballast to drive the Iwasaki the PAR will be a little lower and if you use a M80 ballast to drive german 10000K the PAR will be higher.. so it could end up being that there would be a very minamal change in PAR after the fact
