    2 K2's in a 55 is definitly not too much flow unless you have the new zoos an inch away from the direct current output from the powerhead. Why dont you run any actinics? Two 10k's and two 12k's seems like it would be a very bright white / yellow tank.

    12k isn't really an actinic bulb at all . . . are you sure your reading the bulb correctly? I have ATI aquablues that are 12K and they are extremely white. 20K is more towards the blue spectrum as are 420/460 actinics.
