Default Lighting Question
Looking for advice on my next DE bulb purchase. I have a 22" tall SPS tank. I have an Ice cap electronic ballast and ice cap pendant. I am now leaning towards a phoenix 14k DE. I dont plan on any supplemental lighting (ie t-5). Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

The 14K phoenix was always my favorite for DE. I ran two "un-supplemented" for quite some time and overall color and growth was just fine.

The colour cast of the phoenix 14K is my favourite as well. Just the right balance of blue and white. A little pricy though.

There seems to be a pattern forming here. Pheonix 14k it is.
Thanks
