10k or 20k???

[mebo926]

Just put 2 175w MHs on my tank and put Reefmax 10k and seems to make my tank yellowish. Dont want a yellowish look, Should I switch to 20ks??

I would. Just my 2 cents.

If you have Moguls I use the Iwasaki 14K for a nice color.

Will it make it blueer?? Want good growth but dont want a yellow tank

I have moguls. I eventually want the IWASKI. I have a bunch of 10ks and 20ks. I have Reefmax, Reefglo, Ushio 10ks, Coralife

If you dont like the yellow look i would do a 14-20k bulb. Most 20Ks will be pretty blue so if you dont want it real blue do a 14-15K.

I'm happy with my recent switch to Radiums running on M80 ballasts. Many people that use the radiums run them on e-ballasts which makes them look very blue. When fired on an M80, which they were designed for, they are less blue and look more like a true 14k. PAR is great even for a 20k bulb. I've got 250 at the bottom of a 24" deep tank usning LA mini reflectors.

If you're using e-ballasts though, I would consider a Phoenix 14k or the Ushio.
