Lookin for advice on Hallide Bulbs

People have had good luck with 10K XM's. Maybe someone else can pipe in. I had the 250W version and they were very nice for a 10K bulb.

I have the Radiums myself, their colour is hard to beat.

I use the Geisemann bulbs - both mogul and DE. I have 400W mogul and 250W DE. Great bulbs!
Am also trying out the BLV 14k 400W bulb. It's a bit blue compared to the Geisemann but I like the colour. We'll see how the corals react.
Also have a couple of the Coralvue Reeflux bulbs that I am going to try and see how I like them.

hmmm so no one has tried the aqua cool bulbs eh....

Ruth, Do you have the 12k SE Reeflux bulb?

[Ruth]

Nope, 10K. Wouldn't mind trying the 12K though so I may order a couple just to see.

I'm running a 250W SE 14K Geisemann but I want to switch it out. Way too much yellowish white for a 14k bulb

I just fired up a new 250W DE 10k Reeflux, it's only been running an hour, looks pinkish to me, have to wait to see what happens during burn in, also have a 400w se 10k reeflux on the way, both will be run off electronic ballasts., stay tuned.
