I took a look at your build as well, no need to upgrade imo. But yes I would buy the phoenix bulbs if they are due to be replaced

and trust me, you won't need any supplimental unless you want it bluer

The Phoenix is a amazing bulb I had it when I ran my 250's excellent brand and the par lasts for like 12-15 months easy. the actinics I would replace them and then start running them for the morning and night supplement lighting that is it...

I always used the phoenix 14k as well in my 150. but I also found the fishneedit 20k looked the same and could order 4 or 5 shipped for the same price.

No idea, I used to care about such things... Till I realized it only serves MY purposes, not my livestock. My livestock never noticed a difference, good or bad, so I used em.
