pheonix 14k have alot of par and would give you great
growth. ( You may not need all the blue/actinic as the phoniex is quite blue anyway)

I am using the pheonix 14k bulb and love it. It is the 250W MH HQI fixtures. I have 3 of them above my 210.

First, "parameters" would mean, your salinity levels, pH level, nitrate, nitrites, ammonia, calcium, alk, mag, and temp. I think I covered them all.

I wouldn't be too worried about growth, still will be able to get growth growth with a 14K (( or even 20K bulb )). I am using 20K bulbs over my 58 and am getting great growth -- almost too great.
