I'm tagging along on this.. I can't find any 250 de bulbs that I like. vie tried Phoenix and aqua connect.. They are ok. AquAconnects IMO aren't worth the price. I wish Radium made a 250 de bulb.. I love my 400's and going to try the 150.

Pheonix are a good bulb, but I like Ushio even more. I just find Ushio with better color and consistant performance in the long haul. Both are a good choice.

The XM 10K is a good value. High PAR and low price. Great for growth but if you want nicer color then the Phoenix might be a better choice. That or run them with actinic supplementation.
