150 watt MH bulb for purple death paly and yumas
 

which one of these would suit me better for yuma's and purple death playthoas

I'm new to MH and i'm use to t5 h.o, was wondering if anyone knows how I would get the look of 6 x 20 000k ati bulb's?

thinking of going with 150 watt double ended ballast and wanted best bulb choice for the look I am trying to achieve.

So far I found this:

and this:

would any of these work? or is there another bulb you can suggest?

what about Phoenix 150W 14000K ? or xm?


Can I get away with no other supplemental lighting and just the 150 watt MH on a 29G cube 12" deep and these coral's?

or am I better off with 4 t5 retro h.o for yuma's and paly's?

a 14000k bulb will look nothing like 6 20000k t5s.......there are a few product lines that make a 20000k bulb.....the radiums and aqua connects are quite blue

I had my PDP's under MH and be prepared to shade them. I found they melted under direct light and really grew good if UI put them under an overhang making them stretch for light.

The radium will be much bluer on on electronic ballast vs a magnetic hqi. Very nice looking bulb but I don't think at it's bluest it will look like 6 blue+ bulbs! That must have been one BLUE tank.
