    I'm getting ready to order some replacement bulbs for my Coralife Aqualight Pro, and was hoping to get some recommendations.

    So I'm looking for a 10k double ended HQI MH, and square pin cf true actinic.

    Any input is greatly appreciated.

    SPS for the halide and UVL's for the PC's.
    But asking for bulb recommendations is like asking a favorite ice cream flavor. Everyone is going to have a different combo ;)

    Actinics added to 14k Phoenix would be blue,blue,blue.

    So does anyone have this fixture? I'm not sure I understand this right, but the wording makes it sound like the bulb itself is UV shielded. Is this possible?

    150 watt 10,000K double-ended HQI UV shielded metal halide lamp
