I need to stop putting this off and buy my replacement bulbs ... I need some oppinions to help me decide PLLLEEAAASSSEEE! I've been going back and forth for a few weeks now.
I love the look of my 150W DE 14k asteticly ... but growth is less than I'd like with my SPS so I'm looking into more options.
1. 10K XM with 65w 03 actinic pc (will this be to yellow for my taste? will it brown my corals or possibly improve color since the 10K XM has almost double the par of a 14k?)
2. 13k megachrome with 65w 03 actinic pc (alittle pricy...I doubt I'll go that way)
3. 14k phoenix (supose to be the best 14k for growth...but how much of a difference would it really make?)
4. something I just thougt of ... the 14k phoenix with 65w daylight pc ... do you think that would boost the growth or is the MH the one that needs to be 10k to boost growth?
Please share any thoughts, experiences with your bulb combos, astetic oppinions, everything!
