i have 15 k Reef Grow bulbs, and i cant find out any info on them,l comparisons or anything, are these bulbs good, i have 2x250watt 15k Reef Grow mogul base M58 ballast..plz help

 

[RockStarFish]

I have two on my 55gl and I like them. The 15k has a real nice blue color and give good growth. They are so blue I don't even need to run my atinics

 

[spoon25]

any par value for the reef grow bulbs anywhere, maybe some sort of comparison to lets say xm bulbs? any links

 

[RockStarFish]

I'm not sure I haven't mesured the par and I didn't get no info on them they were cheap and I needed a bulb becase miner went out and didn't have the money for an XM and I am happy with them so far so they will work until i buy more

 

[spoon25]
