I run an Aromat electronic ballast. I personally dont think you need actinics on a 14k bulb if you want more blue go with 20k (20k is a little too blue for my liking). As my bulb is getting a little older now about 13months it is more white than blue. The whites in the tank "pop" way more than when i had PC with actinics though.

Is anyone running a phoenix on the galaxy?

I run the 14,000k Phoenix on a 250w electronic DE galaxy and am happy with it.
