20K for ric tank??

[jcm1229]

I've got my 20h Ric dominated tank up lit with a sunpod (150w)with the stock 14k bulb. Not happy with it for my rics - they don't flouresce!! (BTW - this same bulb looks much better on my 15g sps frag tank - go figure).

I will not have any supplemental actinics and thought I'd try a 20k. Thoughts - recommendations??

Thanks!

The 20k lighting is less intense than the 14k, but the rics don't require intense lighting. The 20k will bring out more color.
