Im looking to go 20k and i need to know which bulb would be best for that. Im currently running XM 10k what do you guys think of the XM 20k?
 
I would only do an xm 20k if your running m59 magnetic ballast. If your running an electronic ballast you may want to go reeflux 10k. They have a lot of blue in them and good par.
 
Im not sure what kind of ballast im running im kinda new to the whole light thing i just bought a coralvue set up. I believe its electronic im not sure.
 
How about if you are running an M80 ballast like what comes with the Aquamedic Ocean lights? Currently I am running the AB 20K and I'd like a little more blue honestly.
 
Perhaps this link will help. Go to spectral plots and you can compare away. Try not to spend the next 3 hours looking for the right bulb though :)

I use 20k coralvue 250se bulbs right now. I am currently on my second set which is a rare thing. My sps grow well and I am pretty happy with coloration. In case your interested, you can see photos of my 120 at my website.
