XM 15K Opinions
I'm looking for opinions on the XM 15K bulbs, especially on the color. I don't want anything too blue. If you have pictures......please post.
I'm upgrading from VHOs so the lower PAR of this bulb will be fine. |

Pictures are useless for determining the color of a bulb. There are just WAY TO MANY variables for them to be of any help.
I suggest a trip to as many LFS as you can and see what they have over their tanks. Maybe a local tank tour? Is there a local reef club or something? |

if you're looking at 175w, go with the iwasaki 15k. A little more expensive, but PAR value is the highest out of any 175w bulb sanjay has tested.
Ive heard its a real crisp white, not yellow, not blue. Ill find out monday as mine is in the mail. |
