Change type of bulb???

[JJ70]

Currently have 2 250W 15K XM with ice caps. It's close to time to change them out and was wondering what's a better choice with the ice caps for SPS? I do not want to run actinic supplement.

Think I'm going with Hamilton 14K. Custom Aquatic has them for $59.99. Best price I've seen by far for a good bulb.

reeflux 12K should also be on your short list.
