I think a 10,000k or higher mixed with a 6500k is a great combination for dems. The high k bulb will bring out the blues and the 6500k will generate a lot of light for full spectrum viewing.
Heres my 75 gal with dems and red zebras; 6500k and 10000k
Be careful not to do too much light, either. I've got a pair of 14" PCFs on my 40breeder and the 10000k is way too bright - washing out the blacks on the demasoni.
I don't think you will be able to find a 10000k anywhere besides a pet store, they don't really have a use besides for aquariums. I should of mentioned that.
