I just order me some ARO electric ballasts from a fellow reefer (brand new) for my new project a 50 gallon breeder. What bulbs would be good? I really like my colors to pop, so I was thinking maybe some 20Ks with some actinic t5 supplements.

Just not sure what 20k bulbs are good for 175 ballasts. If I had 250/400 I would go radium, but what is comparable?

Thanks
Jason

You could use an XM 175 watt 20K or Hamilton 175 watt 20K. I have used both of those on an ARO ballast and both look very nice.
