XM 10K's SE 250

[tetra9999]

Anyone have these and happy with the results? As in very brite white and good growth.

Ive found them for 65.00, seems like a great price for a par rating of 600+ on most ballasts

I am waiting for those exact bulbs to arrive from Marine Depot. I will let you know how they look.

My brother ran them and 2 bulbs side by side were diffrent colors both on the yellow side one was way darker.

yeah, a little too yellow for my taste

I'm running on electronic ballasts and I think they're great. No yellow and bright. I'm only on 175's though. They do need an actinic supplementation for your typical look. I'm running 4X65 pc actinic 03's with them and am probably going to go with 2X95 vho's instead.

Mine were 250's and i ran them on electronic ice caps. Yes, actinic is a must unless you like yellow.

I'll be running 2X110 VHO's Super Actinic.

well i just purchased some 100hr used ones XM 10k's. I'm certain they should be better than the coralvue 12K's that I had (they have seriously low par)
