Radium 20k or pheonix 14k?

[Skeptic9962]

time to replace my 150w DE halide since i just replaced my 250w figured might as well do this one now too....since 250w DE radium 20ks arent being made i just went with the 14k pheonix for that side of the tank was wondering if anyone has any idea on what the radiums look like and if there worth the extra 30 bucks....saw a few pics of them being compared looks like the radiums make some of the corals "pop" more but pretty much same bright white with hint of blue....anyone used the DE ones and have first hand observation?

thanks for the input

Never tried it in a DE, but my SE Pheonix 14K was probably my favorite bulb.

Love the Radium bulbs!!! Have about 20 of them going in all of my tanks!!

I'll take the Radium bulb over the Phoenix, i have a 20k 400 watt and to me its great.

Would have loved to try the 20k but lots of people were saying the de isn't like the se so decided to play it safe and ordered a 14k pheonix :-(
