Blue =/= actinic.
Actinic lights can be blue, but not all blue lights are actinic. Actinic lights are those lights which elicit a photochemical reaction in something else. In the aquarium hobby, an actinic light is a type of light used to emit near ultraviolet light to facilitate photosynthesis in corals. A pure actinic would be a light with a very high kelvin rating, of 18000k or higher, with a wavelength spike at about 400nm, and would incidentally appear to be quite blue. A 50/50 actinic would have the same UVA spike at about 400nm, but would have a large bell curve type peak ranging from 600 to about 500 nm as well. This would result in a very bluish but still white light.
Personally, I wouldn't use actinic lights on a FW setup.
EDIT- the blue lights to which people are referring are what are commonly called moon lights. You can think of them accurately as night lights for fish.
