I have an outer orbit fixture with 2 250w DE bulbs. I believe that the stock bulbs are 10K. I also have 2 420nw and 2 460nw actinic.
Question #1- about what is the useable lifespan of these bulbs.
Question #1 What are good replacement MH bulbs. I was thinking of going to 14K bulbs because I have a bit too much of a yellowish hue to my bulbs. I am unsure though if it will help or hurt my corals.
The fixture is only about 6 months old now but I wanna start planning my bulb change before it is upon me.
here is my specifications currently
Each Outer Orbit HQI/T5HO fixture features PowerPaq 10,000K HQI lamp(s), SlimPaq T5HO Actinic 420nm & 460nm lamps, cooling fans, glass lens, German parabolic Powerwrap & hammertone reflectors, docking mounts, hanging kit and automatic timers. 250 watt fixtures feature remote fan-cooled magnetic ballast HQI driving systems.
