Shower thought for all the fellow halide junkies

[Velcro]

I have tried several bulb and ballast combos including radium 250w on electric and M80 ballasts, radium 400 on 400 superlumen setting, ushio 20k 400 watt, phoenix 14k 250 HQI and doulble ended and finally a phoenix 14k 150watt on my frag tank.

I have to say that the phoenix 14k 150 watt in a current orbit fixture is the best color I've used. It's such a perfect balance of white with coral fluorescence. Has anyone else used this bulb and agreed?

I'll include some pictures under just this light.

I'm using Radium 250w single end with luxcore on overdrive. Supplemented with blue reefbrite led. I did like the Phoenix 250w single ended too. Both are good.

I actually see a huge difference between the phoenix 250 and 150
