![]() From the discription in your signature, your light sounds like an Odessya fixture or a Coralife Fixture.
The First of the two is a very budget fixture that comes with a few weak points that often result in a yellowish light. With a little elbow grease and a few dollars, this fixture can be made into quite a good one. There are a lot of threads about their stuff but take it with grain of salt. If it's a Coralife, then I'm guessing that the bulbs may just need replacing.

![]() I use 14K pheonix bulbs, they are very nice and blue... also running 50/50 actinics with it.
If your bulbs are over a year old, I would definately replace... when I did mine, I couldn't believe how yellow my old bulbs where until the new ones were put in.

![]() And if you use low cost bulbs, more than once a year!
I also don't find PC's lasting a year no matter which ones I buy...they really only go 8 months with any strength.
