HQI metal halide bulb 70 watt

[artman230]

I need some reccomendations as to what bulb I should get for my 70 watt HQI halide. I dont know too much as far as halide bulbs so if anyone out there can help that would be great. I also dont know any good sites to look for them on other than fosters and smith. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. I am looking for that dark blue, purple look too if anyone knows what to look for to make that happen. Thanks yall....

"that dark blue, purple look"

I know a pheonix 14K Hqi looks that way in 250 watt ! should be the same color in 70 watt.
Reefluk 12K looks nice so does ushio 20K but NOT ushio 14K that one I either got a defective bulb or they are supposed to look yellow.

where can I get the phoenix online? or the reefluk, and I have only found the ushio in 150 watt no 70watt.

Follow This Link Either the ushio or the AB 20K will be blue but less brighter and slower growth than a 10K. But would be awesome for shallow depth smaller tanks!

Everything I hear is that the Astralux bulb is one of the best 70W bulbs out there. I have a 70W halide in my aquapod and am going to order one of these bulbs soon. I have a 20K no name bulb in there right now and I want something that is not so blue. With the actinic supplements, it is just too much.
