SE Halide

[shakinghorizons]

Where is everyone getting their 250w bulbs from these days? All I can find are Radiums and Hamilton's and I'm not really interested in either.

What happened to SE Phoenix 14k???

Need bulbs ASAP, but the results are quite limited!

I'm using Reefbrites. Their twin-arc's are pretty awesome in 10k, 14k, and 20k.

Marine Depot and Premium Aquatics has the Reefbrites if you decide to go with them.

Why no Radium? I'm not sure there is a better 250w SE bulb. The Phoenix was discontinued long ago

What ballast do you have?

You could try the Giesemann MegaChrome Crystal with the XHO Reef Brites:

Hamilton 14k may be your ticket then. What ballast are you running?

Their bulbs don't require their ballasts. But I've heard the Hamiltons are good too.

But he said he doesn't like the Radiums and the Twin-Arc are very similar in color, as they say.
He think it's gonna be too blue with his XHOs.

I love radiums by themselves, but with xho's it looks way too blue.

Turn the LEDs off while the Radium is on. That's how I run my T5s. The Radium can hold its own so I just use the T5s for dusk dawn stuff

I was thinking of doing this with my actinic blues when I set up my next system.
