Its time for new lights for my reef. I have a 75 with a fixture that has 2x250watt DE halides and 4x65 watt pc's. I have never had to get new lights for a tank before and don't know what I am doing. THe halide bulbs i have in there now are some brand I have never heard of (odyssey, and i probably spelled that wrong). Do I have to get the same brand or can I get a different brand. I wanted to get 2x250 10,000k Ushio's, but once again I don't know what I am doing, I don't even know if these are any good. What would you guys recommend. I want the halides to make a white crisp color and have the pcs add a blue hint.

I've used Ushio 10,000K bulbs in the past, and I thought they were great. Gave a very nice white color. Supplement with some 03 actinic PC's and your good to go.

Not sure if you have some place in mind, but here's a very good vendor...
