I have a current light fixture over my 75 gal mixed reef. The fixture has 2
150w hqi de ballasts along with 4-54w t5s. I believe they are an electronic ballasts. I recently replaced the t5 bulbs. I have 3 ATI blue+ along with a fiji purple. I also have an aquablue special i could switch in as well.. My question is what bulbs should i buy for the mh's? Not sure what brand is in it now but they are a 12k bulb. Over-all im pleased with the color but i want to make sure to get the most par possible without the yellow look some of the 10k bulbs give. So, which bulbs should i be looking to buy? I've used hamilton 14ks and xm15ks on my stand alone mh and was pretty happy with the color... just not sure which bulbs to get now that i have the t5/mh combo. Any help...or pics would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you
 
the bulb i am using now is a pheonix 14k and i have been happy with the color it gives, i just picked up a ushio 20k that i need to install since its time for a replacment. not sure how this new one will look though, i hope it wont be too blue.
 
Blayz, i have looked at the phoenix 14 and 10k, along with the reflux. So you run a stand alone mh or t5 combo? I don't imagine the i would like the 20k bulbs considering i'm running ati blue+ t5s along with mh. Thanks for your input though.
