I just switched from 400w 12k reeflux on coralvue to a 250w 20k reeflux on ice cap. The below is from the reef specialty forum thread on the 250w 20k. I calculated the savings from the swap and it's only 4 bucks a month in electricity not taking into account tiers but it was time for a bulb switch anyways, 1 year on the 400w and I had the spare ballast from an old tank.

I have the SE 175 and love them. They have good par and the color I like. Not too blue but just right.

Sorry if I'm confused, the reeflux 20k bulbs just started shipping within the last few weeks. How'd you run them for the last year?
