how does this bulb rate?

South Pacific Sunlight 175W 20000K

im currently using a Hamilton 10k but my colors don't show very well. i have a neon green nepthea that has only a slight green on it, while a frag of the exact same coral look AMAZING in another friends tank.

i found a good deal on some south pacific sunlight bulbs but i need to know if im taking a huge step back, or forward on my light quality.

It has pretty low par.

I would suggest an XM 20K
