What bulbs to choose?

[HSanchez]

Ok, so my fixture is coming tomorrow. It has reef grow and catalina compacts, reef grow is the MH. I was thinking about swaping out the bulbs. But not sure what combo I sould go with.

I was thinknig of going with a phoenix 14k 150w de, and 2 65w actinic coralife pc's.

How does this combo sound?

I personally would avoid the Phoenix 14k's. They need to be changed every 6 months and from what I have heard, they lose their nice blue color fairly quickly.

I was impressed with the appearance of the the Reeflux bulbs. I believe that they are only a few bucks more than the Phoenix bulbs and they last for 10-12 months. If you want to see what the Reeflux bulbs look like, take a trip over to Rod's. He also sells these bulbs.

I know that Reeflux makes a SE bulb, but I am not positive if they make a DE bulb.
