Metal h QUESTION

I wanted to change the bulb and yhis time id like my tank to be more attractive ,so i want to change from a 14000k bulb to 20000k bulb.
Whats your idea?Is it a good decision?Whats the advantages and disadvantages?

For me the Radium 20k makes the best light, to my eyes it's almost perfect. It is so crisp and makes everything pop going too blue. I run these with some T5 ATI Actinic. For years I was never truly happy with my lighting, I tried everything, spent way too much money on fixtures and bulbs. When I found this combo I knew I was done looking.

I heard that corals grow in 14k much faster.Is that true?

I don't know, I've heard that as well. I have a buddy that swears by the Phoenix 14k bulbs. I just looked on google and that are a bunch of comparision videos and threads were people discuss the differences. In person Phoenix 14k makes really nice light but it looks a bit washed out to me and actually bluer than the Radium, for me nothing beats the crispness of a Radium.
