metal halide bulb replacement

[geckoman2003]

I have a JBJ 28 g HQI Nano-Cube with a 150 watt double ended 14000k bulb. The bulb is needing to be replaced. What would you recommend? I would like a little more blue. So I was thinking of going with a 20000k?

20K should give you more blue, the phoenix 14k bulb is also a very nice bulb but may not be as blue as you want.

Has anyone used the South Pacific Sunlight (SPS) bulbs?

I found them on clearance for $19.99 reg $69.99. That's a great deal if they are worth a hoot.
