I just got some recently. They kick ass and are way better than the coralife. All sorts of crazy colours I never new I had in the tank are showing up. You're welcome to come check'em out on my tank if you want.

Good call! Remember to reduce your actinic time when you change them and then slowly increase the time again. They're crazy bright compared to the coralife. A few of my colonies weren't too happy with the change over initially and bleached a bit but are now bouncing back with great colours (I forgot to reduce my actinic time).

what did you use for MHs? i was thinking doing 14k phoneix

I use the 14K Phoenix as well. Again, you're welcome to come see it before buyin'. It's definite change from the stock Coralife MH but I'd never go back.
