Looking for a good 150 HQI bulb for aqualight pro fixture.

[Aquabucket]

I am getting a used 150 HQI coralife aqualight pro for a pretty good price and wanted to change out the bulb. I am looking for a blue bulb that will fluoresce my corals the most. I heard some of the 14K bulbs do a good job. I am looking for sort of an actinic effect without too much of a blue wash/look.

Please help me out with some suggestions.

So far I am interested in the 14K Phoenix bulb or it.

Thanks!

I have the 48" outer orbit fixture. 2x150W 10k MH/2x130 W 420/460nm actinic. I hate the yellow look. I ordered the 14k phoenix 150W (just came out I guess). I see alot of pictures and everything with 14k and they don't even use supplemental lighting and the colors are amazing.

Just wanted to post an update. My phoenix 14k bulbs rock and are getting better each day.
