Best 150W DE 20K Bulb?

[jasper24]

Please give me some recommendations for the best bulb to bring out the color in my Acans / Chalices. My fixture uses 2 150W DE's.

Thanks!

I would recommend two radium bulbs. I believe They make them in DE 20k. They IMO give the best coloration.

I would go with the Phoenix 14k bulbs. They have great PAR and excellent color. IMO 20k's aren't very good. The Phoenix should have the color you want without sacrificing intensity.

Hey Jasper.

I'm currently using the radium 20k. I like it. I've only used 2 other bulbs, a phoenix 14k and another 20k which I don't remember the brand. The radium is an expensive bulb, but if you have expensive corals you should get a nice bulb to compliment your corals.

My next bulb I'm trying is an Aqualine 20k, http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=30

This bulb was recommended to me, so I'm going to give it a shot when I have to replace the Radium.
