20k's run cooler than 10k's
I only run 20k's because I hate the way my DIY actinic's look. If I find away to do it better i'd run 10k's corals never grew as well when i switched. Now that i am setting up a tank again i may try to make prettier diy lights

I love the look of 250w 14000k Aquaconnects & Phoenix bulbs over my mainly LPS tanks.

I run 14s or 15s for the color more then anything. 10s give good growth, and 20s seem to give good color, but the color is more to the blue/purple side of things.

I run 14K's with T5 actinic supplement. I'm going to run 13Ks on the next load.

I run the 400W Reeflux 10000K, but I find the color temp a little warm. I think I'll try the 12000K next. I've tried Aquaconnect 14000K but found the light a little "flat" for my taste.
