Need to replace my 150w MH bulb. I have a Sunpod. Whats a good bulb? I have Clams LPS some SPS. Would like a bulb that will make my coral colors more vibrant. Willing to spend $100

Depends on the color you like? If you want something on the blue side go with a phoenix 14k. If you want it more white with a hint of blue but very bright go with a radium 20k. Both put out good par

Take a look at the XM bulbs. Around 14 to 15k. To me this offers the best blend of daylight and blue. Just don't forget that while blue looks pretty and makes your corals "pop", around 6500k gets close to replicating sunlight and makes coral grow great....but it's yellow. I run 10K with actinic supplements.
