Bulb change

[stlrams88]

I am planning on changing my stock bulb in my sunpod out. I believe it came with a 14k, and its a DE. I want to go to a 10K Reeflux. When I change out the bulb am I going to need to screen the tank for a little while, or should the coral make the adjustment without too much difficulty? Its a small volume mixed reef so pretty much top level is all SPS, and the rest is zoas/LPS.

I would screen it. Better to be safe then sorry.

And too must my eye, the Current 14K bulbs aren't all that bright --- the Phoenix bulb appears brighter to my eye. So I am going to guess that the Reeflux is going to have a decent amount more PAR.

Yeah The current bulb is not the best. My other choice was the Phoenix 14, or the radium 20k, but I decided I really want to get some good growth. Will regular black window screen work?

Yea, I wasn't all that pleased with the Current 14K bulb, but oddly enough I really like the 10K bulb that came with my Outer Orbit.

Yea, regular window (( fiberglass )) screening will work.
