Lighting?

[ptjoe]

Thinking about replacing my MH bulb to a Phoenix 14K for my Solana 34, but after reading may reviews one thing stands out....Many people report the bulb is too blue. Have any of u had any experience w/ this bulb. I have even thought about staying w/ a 10 K and adding T5 actinics. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Blue is the only thing my wife will let me use on my 300. Most of my corals agree and look better under a bluer lamp. (20K Radium or 12K Reeflux) Even if you look at T5HO's, no body uses just 10K's, most use blue plus, figi purple, actinic, 50/50, 75/25, and actinic white.

I just switched to an XM 20K. Loving the crisp blue.

I used Phoenx 14k on a 30 cube and didn't think it looked too blue at all

I use the DE 250 watts 14k's over my 90 and the blue is just awesome. Just the right hue of blue. I tried some other 14k bulbs and they where just too yellow. Had to go back to the Phoenix bulbs.

Hey Joe, when you come by to pick up the frags I can show you my neighbors tank, he is using phoenix 14K bulbs supplemented by ATI blue plus and purple plus bulbs.
