Which Bulb

[lwalcott]

I am wanting to change my bulbs. I have 400w 15K xm's that I have had for about 3 weeks. I am going to go with something different. Should I go with the Hamilton 14 K or go to the XM 10k. I'm just not sure which way to go. I also have 2 vho actinics on the tank. The tank is a 125 with 3 400w MH and the 2 VHO actinic. Can I still get good color with the 10K versus the 14K bulb I guess is the question.

Your colors may be a little better with the 14K but the growth out of the 10K will be great. If you are running VHO actinics, you should get great color with the 10K.

I will say though, those 10K XM's are pretty yellow so make sure your VHO's are lower than the halides or you have about 4 of them.

IMO

What 10k bulb would you suggest without breaking the bank.

[lwalcott]

Not sure who you are asking but I am using PFO ballast.

I would go with the reeflux 10k

That is the direction I am leaning. I really like what i hear about them . I have also seen them and they really look nice.
