I've read a lot of people say that Phoenix and Aquaconnect are the same bulb except Phoenix is cheaper to buy.

I've done a lot of reading and research before I picked up the 150w for my system, i am quite confident that there will be enough lighting for lps as long as the bulb is being maximized by the m81 ballast.
I wasn't looking for suggestions on 250w lights or getting a new fixture although I appreciate you probably think you're just trying to help.

I also was only speaking of supplemental actinic lighting with a vho or led so i could use a 6500k bulb that had a much higher par than a 14k or 20k and still have a nice reefy blue color.

Sorry, I suppose I should have ben more descriptive in what advice i am hoping to find.
Thankk....

Ocean Aquatics sell them but you should call to see if they have them in stock.
