I have been running two XM 10k 250 Watt MH bulbs in my tank for over the last couple of years with really good success as far as coral growth! The problem is that they add quite a yellow tint to the tank.
I purchased another 250 Watt Icecap ballast to use some type of actinic light in there to counter some of the yellowness, though haven't had much luck finding a bulb I've been happy with yet.
Does any one have any good suggestions for a good actinic MH bulb that I could try? Should I give up on my XM 10ks and use some other 3 bulb MH configuration? Or should I supplement my MHs with some T5s to get good actinic coloring?
Any and all help sure would be appreciated!!!
