Yes I'll be going with a 10K bulb, and using 'actinic' T5HO for the blue and general illumination. I've read good things about a couple 10K bulbs, hopefully the bulb and ballast combination I end up choosing doesn't push the bulb too yellow... from what I was reading, 10K bulbs often end up being more like 8K bulbs.

So, I'm getting a 175W electronic ballast, now I just need to figure out which one :lol:

do they even make 175W DE bulbs?

No, they don't, but electronic ballasts work with any bulb including 150W HQI bulbs.

If you want BRIGHT white and you're going with 175W electronics then the only bulb for you is the Iwasaki 15K. It is a true WHITE bulb with as much or more PAR than many 250W bulbs.
