Bulb choice and SPS color?

[TwistedTiger]

Foe everyone out there with SPS tanks which bulb do you think does the best job of bringing out the colors of SPS? I'm not talking about using 20'k and turning the whole talk cartoon blue, but getting the SPS to really color up.

I think the Phoenix 14K is good for both par and coloration.

Try Aquaconnects 14K bulb one time, pricey but worth the look if you ask me.

Agree with kh971 the phoenix 14k is the exact same bulb with lower price....
