Which 14k bulb is best?

[CLeadfootS]

I have a 48 inch coralife aqualight pro 250 watt mh light fixture with coralife ballasts and i have 20k bulbs in it now. Just got new pc bulbs that are really blue and was thinking the tank looked too blue. Thinking if I switched to 14k mh bulbs it might look a little better. Does anybody out there have any suggestions on a 14k bulb that would look good with my ballasts? Thanks for any help!

I had this exact same light fixture a few years back and put in phoenix 14k bulbs. I still use phoenix 14k 250W today in my lumenbrights.

Thanks, Steve

I an using a 250w Oddysea bulb and it rocks. Tested the PAR on it and it was nearly the same as a Phoenix 14k.

I was thinking that the phoenix bulbs sounded good because I have read a lot about them on RC. All of the posts I read people were using these bulbs with icecap ballasts and said they looked great. I'm not sure how they would look with coralife ballasts though. Maybe somebody out there has tried this and could let me know what they think. As far as oddysea bulbs, I haven't read much about them but I read their light fixtures were not that great. I'll have to check those out too. Thank you for the info!
