Sorry I do not have any since I switched the bulbs. I can try and get one for you tomorrow. The aqua science 22k's are so much nicer then actinic. I really wish you could get a hold of them. Other then that you could scrap the pure blue bulbs all together and do something like the following;

Aquascience 15k
Aquascience 17.5k
Giesemann aqua blue 11k
GE electric 6,500k or a similar low k bright white yellowish bulb for incresed par
Aquascience 15k
Aquascience 17.5k

Or you could try this:

Giesemann aqua blue 11k
GE electric 6,500k or a similar low k bright white yellowish bulb for incresed par
Giesemann aqua blue 11k
Giesemann blue plus
Giesemann aqua blue 11k
Giesemann blue plus

The upside is that you get awesome growth with a great white realistic color. The downside is you don't get a dusk dawn effect or much fluorescence.
