thanks in advance!

pheonix 14k i like thr look and coral growth on it. i never used the other one.

right now im using a HexARC BLUE 14k 150W DE this bulb is amazing. if you can still get it i would choose this one. i no they sell them on Ebay but i dont no any store that carrys them.

Gotcha! Thanks so much
I just ordered the Phoenix ive been noticing my stock bulb is losing some of its flare and the corals are noticing too hopefully it'll be here soon though!
I read somewhere online about the bulb not having any uv protection is that true?

im not too sure about the uv part i never had anything wrong with the coral in the 34 solona and the 14G bio cube, So i just would not be able to answer that question.

I had same tank/light and really liked the Phoenix 14k. Much closer to a 20k look and I got really good growth too.

Thanks jeff do you have any pics of your setup?
