Lighting mh advice !!!

[jacknificient]

Yeah i know another bulb thread!!!
Ok so I currently have 2x 250w Radium bulbs and weird thing they are burning white on my icecap ballast, one was changed after 1 week cause he was burning pink. It’s time to change the bulbs, the tank is a mix reef with 60% sps and all the lps softies are at the bottom. Looking for bulbs with good PAR and bring out the blue in my acro’s and not white in colour, so here’s my guess:

Reeflux 10k good PAR and brings out the blue
Reeflux 12k PAR is not so good but coloration is awesome
Hamilton 14k good PAR but slightly more white than blue
XM 20k not so bad PAR and blue purple
So if you got any other advice just go ahead!

Oh and by the way I got 2x 95w vho one 454 and one super actinic!

Thanks for your input!

Not sure where you got your PAR estimates, but here's the Performance Results (http://www.reeflightinginfo.arvixe.com/alldataforaballast.php?x1=79&x2=6&x3=EVC%20250W%2010000K%20SE%201&x4=Icecap%20250W%20Electronic&x5=N) for all the 250w MH bulbs Sanjay tested with an Icecap ballast. It may help.

Your right my PAR estimates are not in the range, tx for the link!

For the moment im thinking to go with either Reeflux 10k-12k or go back to XM 20k, the 10k is too much yellow but the its a monster PAR.

Im even thinking of switching to T5 for the flexibility of playing with the bulbs!
