all the pictures which has been taken to this point has been running ONLY on pheonix 14K on M80 HQI ballast. If you are running phoenix with electronic ballasts you'll find the bulb to be extremely blue, more close to the 20K range instead of 14K as phoenix bulbs are spec-ed to run on HQI ballasts.
As another update, i recently added in 2x 24w T5HO supplements onto the tank to help bring out the red and purple colors. I added one Gman Pure actinic, and one KZ fiji purple (i love this bulb!). Here are some pictures of it. Today i decided to spent the whole day building a new collection cup for my MCE600 i posted that in the DIY section if you are interested take a look, so far it looks promising.
