Is it possible to run a reef with only actinic bulbs?
 
I would say yes, because it gives the most health for a reef tank. ATI True Actinic is 430nM. Chlorophyll A&B are produced between 400nM-450nM
 
I'm thinking of going all actinic bulbs
 
If you like the blacklight poster look, knock yourself out. Seems bizarre to me but it ain't my tank. Enjoy your hobby how you want.

It's not as dark as you think ,true actinic looks almost identical to blue+
