    Phoenix 14k DE bulbs, wow are they blue

    The price is right, but the bulbs both had the internal element break. I am still running the actinics. Probably do not need to, but I am still working up on the photoperiod and the tank would be dark a lot. Also, I only have 2 of the phoenix bulbs right now, and in the center I am running my...

    Phoenix 14k DE bulbs, wow are they blue

    Well it has been about 2 wks now and I am loving these bulbs. They burned off some of the blue and are now a very nice white with a hint of blue. They cast a nice shimmer from the top of the tank. Even though it has been only 2wks, some of the corals that dulled out when I went back to the AB...

    Phoenix 14k DE bulbs, wow are they blue

    Good point on the ballast issue. For me, it is a DE setup, so it is a PFO HQI ballast. Thx for the info on the burn in. We will see if I like it still. Mat

    Phoenix 14k DE bulbs, wow are they blue

    we will see what they do. I don't hate them, and if the corals color up it will be worth it. Just very different from what I expected and what I have done before. I have kept saying "more blue, more blue." Mat

    Phoenix 14k DE bulbs, wow are they blue

    Just traded out my bulbs last night. I have 3 pendents and set up the two outside ones with Phoenix 14k 250w DE bulbs and man are they blue. They totally make my center generic 15k bulb stand out. As soon as I get a third bulb, I am going to have to turn my actinics off. Either that or I am...

    I just got Lasik

    what was your prescription before? Lasik is really ment for people in the -1.0 to -5.0 range. When you get out much worse than that, it tends to really increase the light sensitivity. Mat

    DI filter or should I by RO DI?

    I agree, if I was to do it again, there is a company that is always listed on Ebay that has great stuff for very reasonable prices. RO is the way to go. Mat

    150W/250W? Which one to get?

    I think it is a tough call. I would personally go with the 250s because if you ever decide to upgrade, they would still be useable on a deeper tank. You probably could get away with the 150s for those animals, though the clam may need a bit more light. However if the tank gets much deeper or...

    To Bio Ball or Not To Bio Ball that is the question.

    Take them out, but slowly, a few a week so you don't make your nitrates/nitrites/ammonium spike. Mat
