MH color temp

I just upgraded from 2x55 pc to MH and was wondering if 5,200k is ok color temp. I've searched other forums and it's currently undecided. I have a weird bulb for the fixture and it won't take anything else. It's looks like a standard socket and shape of a bulb, but the "filiment" is definatly an MH. I tested it over my tank it literally looks like the sun is shining through it, color and brightness both. I think it's a 5,200k becuase it's much more red then my PCs, which are 10,000k and acentic 03. I also tried ordering a bulb from hellolights.com, but the bulb alone was too big for it, let alone the socket. I think it's a standard american socket. Running:

30g high tank

1 yellow damsel

button polyps, GSP, tree coral (fragging)

27+ lbs LR, 40lbs DSB

dwarf hermits, 3 peppermint shimp, and a red thorny star (small)

AC500 refuge, 100 watt heater, Lee's protien skimmer, and about 400 gph worth of flow.

THANX!
