I have some blue zoos that I bought from Mr. Coral. What is the best bulb value (k rating) to bring out the blue color. Right now they are purple. I am currently running a hamilton 2x250 mh (pulse right 20k) with 2 vho actinics, but I am getting ready to get new brand name mh bulbs.

Thanks

Kris

BTW, you guys are killing me with the pics of your tanks!

14,000K Hamilton or Xm M.H will really bring out the color of your Zoo's. IMO, the 10,000 K XM will really increase their growth rate, but some people say they are too yellow.

I run 2 250w Phoenix 14k's and everything looks great...they really pop when I added two small strips of blue LED's (about $80)
