i've used ushio's on my tank for years and love them. they produced the whitest of all the bulbs i tryed with no failures. i'm gonna try hamilton bulbs on the new tank but 6.5k's for growth along with t5's and vho actinics. i think with the combo is should give me good growth and color. if the hamilton's don't work well i'm gonna switch back to ushio 10k's

i currently have 3 new de ushio 10k's for $69 if anyone wants.

my lighting on the new tank will consist of

2-250se 6.5k mh 4hrs
1-400se 6.5k mh 5hrs
4-54wt t5 2 blue plus and 2 10k 8hrs
2-110wt 03 vho's 12hrs

thats my current plans.
if the 400 is to much i'll switch it to a 250
