250w bulb recommendations for nem tank

[osprey3883]

Hello,
I need to replace my 250 watt MH HQI bulbs on my tank, any recommendations with anemones in mind? (10k 14k 20k, manufacturer, etc)

Thanks,
Matt

Depends on what you're going for. Looks or highest par... Would also be helpful if you told us what type of anemone we're talking about here. Though just about any 250w MH buld sold in the industry will be sufficient light for most anemones so it really just comes down to personal preference.

I have the phoenix over my RBTA's and GBTA's and they look awesome.

Hello,
I have BTA's. Initially i was hoping to do a Haddoni, but my fish don't like the carpet i bought. He ate one of them. Added the bta and they hosted right away.
tank depth- the sand is 23 inches away from the bulbs.
I may try a couple of the recommendations and see what looks good.

Thanks,
Matt
