I'm debating on choices for new bulbs right now too. I've been running 10Ks, but I'm not happy with the white colour. I Plan to go to 14, 15 or 20K bulbs. I Just need to figure out which. If the corals grow slower but look better, thats fine by me.

Ed, feel welcome to come by and see the Phoenix bulbs I'm running, if you are considering them at all. Really happy with the color, and the corals seem to be doing pretty well.

Neal the K is sometimes just what is appealing to you, and/or what is best for your corals.

I use the 14500K Gieseman Megachrome bulb. It is only slightly blue tinged, but yet the corals fluoresce.
