    hello everyone, am still of a noob when it comes to fully understanding the whole light spec. i have a MH 150 fixture this is the replacement bulb

    Aquarium Lightings - Odyssea Double Ended Metal Halide Bulb

    i bought this replacement bulb

    Phoenix 150W 14,000K Metal Halide Lamp, Double Ended - AquaCave

    my only concern is that the original bulb gave off a bright clear light this one gives off a bright blue tint light. if my inhabit benefits are the same i will not worry about it ,if not i will have to buy a new bulb

    this is how it looks

    You will most likely get a little more color and possibly a little slower growth. Everybody will do just fine.

    Yeah it's just a different spectrum of color. You'll be all good.
