kronk, what ballast are you running?

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.

I heard that the phoenix shifts spectrum rather quickly as opposed to other bulbs. Anyone care to comment on that?

Is anyone running the coralvue or reeflux bulbs?

If anyone has some pics of their favorite bulbs running, please pretty please with a cherry barb on top, post them.

I'm running a 12K 400 watt reef flux bulb. It's not blue enough for me but some people might like it.

My Aquaconnects & Phoenix bulbs all keep their colour very well.

After seeing Willito's tank this past weekend, I'd vote Phoenix. I used them a couple years back and I thought they lost intensity quickly, so I don't know how often he changes them but his tank is completely incredible, without zeovit....

I'm assuming that these bulbs are only sold in DE, because I haven't seen any other site that advertises them in a mogul. Sucks to be me because i really wanted to try one.

Aquaconnects come in SE & DE but are very expensive. Phoenix only in DE, but 1/2 the price of AC bulbs.
