So Wjat is the preferred 250W mh bulb?

[mgramckow]

I'm running a 250W Caralife Pro light fixture over a 30 gal Xero Edge aquarium. The fixture includes one 250W HQI and 2 x 65 watt actinics.

The 10K bulb that came with the fixture feels toooo white for me. Thinking about purchasing a 13-15k bulb. Anyone have any thoughts as to temp and brand?

I run two 250w Reeflux (CoralVue) 12k bulbs... I've searched and searched and their the only company I found with 12k 250w bulbs. I run 2 T5 super atinics which give me the blue... and my MH's have a tint of blue but not as strong as a 14k bulb... and its not as white as 10k bulb.

Sorry but I can't take a picture... camera is broken.
FWIW... a lot of people like running 14k bulbs with atinics.
