Hello,

It's time for me to replace my 3x150W 10K MH ... they are 14 months old !

I have also 4 compact artinic-420nm 96W
125G tank

I begin to have 10 SPS with a pretty good grow. They are on the top and medium+ of the tank.


What will be best for my tank ? If I take 15K or 14K, and I remove my compact, will I have the same color ?The intensity will be enough ? If I need to keep my Compact, should I go with 10K or 14K. I do like light bluish color but I want a good grow on my corals.

Thanks
Vincent

It's hard to tell other people what they should get. IMHO I've never used a 10K bulb? I have a 250w HQI de IceCap set-up with Hexarc 14K bulbs otherwise known as Phoenix. I would try a 14K bulb, since you have 3 bulbs what I would like to do one of these days is do 2 20K bulbs as my actinic with a 10 or 14k in the center? Whichever you try i'm sure you will still use your actinic bulbs as a supplement, why not?

ok so I guess I am going to try 14K ...

Anyone can suggest me a good brand ? My bulbs are double end, 150W

Thank you
