which hailide bulbs

i am definatley planning a 14k coralvue or 20k aquamedic its the whiter lights im concearned about... i think i should stick with what i know and stay with the 13k aquamedics....

 

Well for what its worth you named 2 of the least of the better bulbs.. As for sticking with what is known ?? Had I had that mind set I'd still be using 5500 K. Iwakie's/ Hamalitons/Red Sea LOL Great bulb to grow corals out with on a commercial bases butt ugly for a home tank rough on the eye's But tough and last about 2.5 yrs with not much detectable color shift . I have ran them for over 3 yrs myself..before changing them out. Good luck with what ever you choose though.

 

thanks for the reply

 

Your landlord is the one that pays electricity Pretty cool. In my area you pay for rent and everything else including electricity, water, etc..

 

IBM, same here, i think the only thing you get for free is basic cable...

Leslie, if you aren't concerned with possibly paying a little more money, i'd get what everyone else is suggesting, and if the landlord happens to ask you about the extra use of power, offer to pay a little extra or something... better yet, ask him beforehand if you can add some lights that will add to the bill, ya never know what can happen unless you ask the right people!

 

I use 10000K ReefLux on my tank and love the color and what they've done for my corals.

 

I was looking at the website for the sps bulbs. I have a 150HQI. Any other recommendations?

 

You want 150 W HQI's ?

 

I already have 150w HQI 10K. I am looking for some quality bulbs down the road.

 

P/M me for SPS brand and any type bulb. We stock Ushios and SPS and Aqaualine's from 150 to 1,000 W double and single bases
