Lighting Suggestions

[ArloGut]

Hi All

Here are a few questions I have. I am starting up a 90 gal RR AGA and have built my own canopy for the lighting. I currently have 2 250 watt ARO electronic ballast MH retro's and 2 ARO electronic ballast VHO retro's. I need to know what the best bulbs would be to run. I am leaning towards the 20K XM for the MH. Some suggestions on MH/VHO bulbs would be appriciated.


Thanks
Arlo

I like the 10k's better but that is probably a personal thing, I don't like lots of blue also you may have a little less PAR on the 20k's. Sounds like you'll have enough lighting whatever you decide.

Have you checked the new 15k XM? Its pretty nice. Less blueing, and more PAR then 20k. Its really quite nice effect. Take a look at them and see if you like em.
