Hey guys I figured id plague these boards with another MH opinion help thread. Bulb choice means we got to live with it for 8 months or so.
I have 250w electronic icecap ballast. I have all SPS besides a few zoas. I have a 454vho bulb and super actinic vho bulb as supplements. Yet I run only the MH by itself a good portion of the day.
I have had a radium, and the color is just way too blue, which the electronic ballast i think is the cause. I don't want to buy a new ballast to give a radiums another try, So cancel out Radiums.
12k Reeflux, liked these bulbs but too dim for my taste.
10k Reeflux, crisp white, really bright, great growth, but need some more blue/pop
I was reading about the 250se 20k reeflux and got excited, then read about hey they have a problem yellowing after 5-6 months. A brighter style 12k reeflux sounds great if it keeps the good colors.
14k phoenix 14k seems to be the best option, i hear all good reviews, but feel most people doing reviews are softy, lps guys. Not sure about coloration on SPS lots of blue not much actinic? .
There's a few odds and ends, elos megachromes, ushio 20ks... that I can't find anyone super happy with
Sorry for the another post much like others! thanks for your responses!
