I'm needing to get new bulbs here in about three months.
This is gowing to be my third time buying Bulbs for my 90 gal mixed reef.
My first time, I chose 2x250w 65k Iwasaki bulbs with 2x96w P.C. actinics
I like the halides except for the color, but coral growth was excellent
But I wanted a "not so yellow" tint to the tank...So next time I got 2x250w 10k Aqualine bulbs and I love them...they barely need the actinics in my opinion.
But I wonder if I'm missing out on some good bulbs....
Any recomendations on 250w halides
I was thinking about XM 10k bulbs because I heard they have an excellent color at a bargain price...but I don't want to buy a bulb because of cheap price.
Anyone have experience with Ushio 10k bulbs? Any other recomendations?
I really don't want to go higher than 10k, too much blue doesn't look natural to me....
thanks
