Have a 250w DE fixture over my 29 gallon reef.

I believe the bulb in there now is 14k and i want to step up to much more blue, so was thinking 20k.

What brand should i get, first time replacing bulb and just want to make sure i get the best one out there. Thanks :thumbsup:
 
Thats what I've been reading, not so much worried about cost as i am quality. I have had this fixture for about 3 months and don't know how old the bulb truly is, so another reason for a new bulb is so i can track the life of it better.
 
Radium 20k! aquamaxx 14k is a cheap option which is suppose to be very similar to the Radium. I agree with getting quality, you can't go wrong with ushio or radium.
 
I don't believe they make a 250watt Radium double ended bulb. Phoenix is supposed to make a decent 20k DE bulb. A lot of people compare it to the Radium. I don't have any personal experience with that comparison though.
