MH Bulb Replacement
Okay.. after only 6 months of running my Coralife 150HQI bulbs looks like they need changing. Can anyone recommend a better 10K bulb that will perform better.

Yeah the Hamilton 14k is pretty nice. Coralife bulbs totally suck.. anything would be a step up I'd say.

I plan on ordering from J&L... What really frusterates me about the Coralife in addition to their short spectral life is some days (most days) the bulbs look realy yellow and other days they look very white almost to the point that I dont need to run my actinics. Anyone else experience the same problems with Coralife bulbs?

I'm using Reeflux bulbs (10,000k) & very happy with them. Both DE & SE. Very white with hint of blue colour. Corals also colour up nicely under them & I don't bother with actinics anymore.

Anyone try the Ushio 10K? Looks like all J&L have listed on their site are the Coralife and Ushio 150W HQI
