			 Nearly all of the pictures of my tank in the link in my signature are under 250W 14K DE Phoenix bulbs. I do get good growth for much of what I have but I attribute that to water chemisty more than lighting.

			 I am running the 250w on a Lumatek ballast and I love it. Never ran actinics with any of my Phoenix bulb tanks. I have a few pictures in my thread.

			 Well I picked up a  Phoenix today to test. Can't say i really like it, just too blue for me. I prefer a crisp white with a tint of blue. I find it also tends to wash out the reds and pinks. Think I will return for a XM10K and add my VHO actinic's to supplement. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			Or are the Hamilton's less blue.
