Hey everybody! I know many of you use Metal Halides for your tank. If you've tried both 20000k and 14000k bulbs, which bulb do you like better? From what I've researched I believe it comes down to Color (20000k) vs Growth (14000k) but I know many other factors affect both color and growth. For this thread, though, I would like to follow the Color vs Growth debate and ask what you guys prefer. 20000k or 14000k?
Thank you for any comments!

I now have the 14k but noticed better growth with the 10k, but I like the color with the 14k.

I have a radium 20k right now (250 watt), but ordering a iwasaki 15k (175 watt) to try out tomorrow. Basically same par but whiter.
