Recommendations on replacement bulbs for 250watt metal halides

[roxsburyrage]

Can anyone recommend a 250watt hQI metal halide bulb.
I bought a hood from aquauniverse that has two 250hqi metal halides bulbs.One of them just burned out so I think it wont come on.They are only about 9 months old .I dont know what brand they used.I tried to contact them but there is no answer and the website doesnt even show any for sale.Can anyone tell me what kind I should get.I am using 4 65 watt atinics to go with the 2 metal halides.I think the ones that came with it are 10k.
Where to buy from and what is the best bulb would greatly be
appreciated.
Thanks

It depends what you are after. Color, go with 20k. Growth, go with 10k. In between, go with 12k or 14k.

For both growth and color. For a DE, 14k phoenix are good. For SE, 12k Reeflux, you can't go wrong there.
