    Default 175 watt bulb choice

    I'd like to get some opinions on what the best SE 175 watt bulb is. There won't be any actinics so I'd like it to be more on the blue side.

    FWIW the ballast is magnetic.

    Thanks

    Look at my pictures in the image gallery, I have several pictures of 12K Reef Flux 175 MH. Although they worked with a magnetic ballast, they did much better with a electronic ballast. The pictures turned out more blue than it actually looks. (Cheap Camera)
