What's your favorite bulb and why? If you have pics of that bulb running please post!

250w XM 10K. It has the highest output on a PFO HQI ballast. It runs really yellow, so you need to supplement heavily with actinics.

Phoenix 14k cant beat the color or the price.

EDIT: Heres a Pic the tank looks a little rough but you can see the light color pretty good.

I'm using Aquaconnect 14000k 250w de on my main reef but Phoenix 14000k 250w de on my frag/seahorse refugium & I'll be replacing the $120+ AC with the much less expensive Phoenix bulbs. Same colour & nice intensity for a more reasonable price.

Pheonix all the way..................14k of course.

tagging along as I am having a tough time finding a bulb I like...and "trying" them out is getting VERY COSTLY!

Im happy with my 10k 2x175 watt XM like mentioned befor they do run VERY yellow. I do suplement with t5 actinics and it makes them white. A thing i like about these bulbs is that they are not to expencive and ther a exelent bulb. nce i set up my 2x250's im befenetly putting on XM 14k.

Hears a picture of the tank with both halides and actinics on.

I use Phoenix 14 k. Intensity with a nice amount of the blue spectrum.

250w radium blue mh supplement with 10000k flourecsents gives a good amount of growth and a white shimmer to tank,
