I have a Blue Wave II MH Pulse Start Ballast with 2- 400watt 20k Radiums. Are there any other bulbs I can try with this ballast? I'd like something in the 10k range.
What are my bulb options?

The ballast you have is an ANSI M135/M155 ballast.
This article has a recommended lamp/ballast chart: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-03/sj/index.php
You can use Ushio 10,000K (none CWA type) and 14,000K lamps.
You can also use any BLV lamps but they will be slightly under driven.

Thank you very much, PaulErik. That is exactly what I was looking for. I bookmarked it for future reference.
