I have a Coralife 48" 150 WATT AQUALIGHT PRO.
I would like to change my bulbs to 14k. Anyone have suggestions for brand and what about changing the to 96 watt 03 actinics? Is there a good combination to go with 14k bulbs?

Blue, I would run a 150w 10k since you have supplemental actinics. They will off set the white of the MH bulbs. Also 10 k will give you the most par. If you want to go 14k, I've read that alot of people are using Pheonix 14k.

Oh yeah, Sanjay has a thread on the first page of this forum where you can see the par results and spectral analysis of different bulbs run on an array of ballasts. The choice is up to you. Good Luck. Mile
