What are your guys' thoughts on the best metal halide bulb out there. Just switched from a coralife MH aqualight (2x150w) which had coralife 20k bulbs in them and also had 50/50 PC bulbs as well. I did get accustomed to the blueness of the tank, but I hear that the bluer the kelvin, the slower coral growth is? Is this true? I bought a new Hamilton MH light 2x250w w/ 4x54w T5. Have 10k bulbs in now and is seems so WHITE, not sure if I like it but I also don't want to prohibit coral growth, I'm already impatient as it is!! From what I've read, everyone likes radium and Xms? What are your guys opinions and thoughts on this?
