HQI Bulb replacment

[Nano Chris]

I have a Aqua Light Pro and it has 2x Coralife 150w 10,000k HQI bulbs, i am planning on buying new ones, i want it to look natural (not too yellow and not too blue.)

Was thinking of trying the:
150W 14000K Metal Halide Bulb - Phoenix, Double-Ended

What would you suggest?

Sounds good.. Those bulbs make a pretty crisp white light with just enough blue to make the colors pop.

I just replaced the 150W 10k bulbs on my outer orbit fixture with a coralife 14K and 20k. the 14k looks a lot like the old 10ks with just a little less yellow. The 14 is over my SPS side where they need a little more "sun" and it looks good, but aesthetically I personally like the 20k over the softie end. Very crisp blue/white light so it looks very "clean".
