Metal Halide Bulbs

Reef Pets · Feb 4, 2009

I want to do a Group Buyer on Metal Halide Bulbs and wondering what type of Metal Halide Bulbs you use? The Group buyer will most likely be for Radium, Ushio, Iwasaki, CoralVue and Reeflux. Reeflux just released 20K bulbs!!
If I know what type bulbs that everyone uses then maybe I can add to the list. This group buy will offer the best prices ever!! So, if you are wanting new bulbs soon then I would recommend waiting!

Phoenix Mogul (SE) 14K bulbs. I have allways used the DE and loved them. The new SE they have is even a little bluer IMHO. I don't have any fancy testing stuff besides my corals. They seem to like it.

I have the 175 over my frag tank now and will be getting the 250's for my display....when I save up a couple hundred bucks.:tongue:

Favorites: Hamilton 14K, Iwasaki 15K or Radium.

Reeflux has very low par.

new favorite bulb is the helio's 20k de. wayyyy better than the phoenix 14k in my opinion. as long as the growth and colors stay...these will be my bulbs forever unless i witch to single ended and then i would go to radiums. but these things are AMAZING!!!
