Marie, my friend has been on the same quest since selling his vho,s several years ago. After running 14K 400w bulbs for a year, he went to all T-5,s. Just recently he chucked his T-5,s completely. Figures his tank has never looked good since the switch from halides and its all soft corals & huge leathers.
He just put a pair of SA, 14K, 400,s back on. Likes the look but still not the same as the vho look. He is thinking of adding a pair of vho actinics. From our running of T-5 actinics, just not the same as the vho actinics.
I just dont thing the same colour can be reproduced by anything else. I would think, {not using} , that the Iwasaki 14K would be a similar light to the Ushio 10K. My SA 14K,s {175w}, have a nice bluer look but not the same as vho nor my T-5,s.
