I am going to be buying an Ecoxotic PAR38 bulb for an 11g rimless cube and wanted to know if anyone had experience with these? I am not sure which color temperature would be better. 20,000k or 12,000k?

I believe the 20k is all blue isn't it?

I have both at home but don't use them. I'd go 12k but there are many better options to choose from IMO.

Take a look at one of the ones from Coral Compulsion, ReefBreeders, or one of the several other "full-spectrum" offerings - much better color rendition than those "first-generation" Par38's...

14k is mid day sun above 15' and 20k is deeper and I'd more blue
