On the right side of my tank I have an ARO elec. ballast. And the right side is a coralvue elec. ballast. Both 250 watt. What 14k bulbs would be the best for these? Hamilton 14k? Pheonix 14k? Thanks
 
what do you plan on running? SE or DE? do you already have the reflectors/sockets?

if you are going SE......there are 3 awesome bulbs to choose from, in this order IMO.

#1 - Aquaconnect 14k ($$$)
#2 - Hamilton 14k
#3 - Radium 20k ($$)

since you have 2 different ballasts, you obviously run the risk of each bulb looking slightly different. its a small chance, but i've seen it happen.
 
O yeah, sorry it's SE. I have 2 XM 15k'2 and they look the same. I want bluer though. I've seen hamiltons and they look pretty nice. My XM's look really white.
