I like the xm and hamilton bulbs, never did like the phoenix bulbs. Currently im running the hamilton 14k. The hamilton puts out a good clean white with a touch of blue. My ballast is icecap 250w (hqi setup)

BTW Menard uses Phoenix 14k's and if you know who Menard is thats saying allot about Phoenix 14k's

Last I talked to him (about a month ago), he was running XM 10Ks with 454nm actinics.

I just bought Phoenix 14K bulbs and I think they are way to blue for me. My previous bulbs where Ushio 14K they had a nice white with hint of blue. I might return Phoenix..

go with a 10k. the 2 vho bulbs will make the tank look great wit the 10k. its a great combo, and growth will be awesome
