I will check Dez's tank, if I can run the cheap bulbs and look like a millionaire tank, I will definitely buy it no matter what the brand is

I run the ones from hobby lighting on my tank. I like the 14k the best, not quite as blue as a 14k phoenix. I also tried the 10k but didnt like them, too yellow. I had one of the 10k bulbs fail after a month of so also. The warrenty is 3 months but not worth the shipping hassle for a $15 bulb. I am running 250w DE but the guy carries all sizes.

What type of ballast are you running?

My E-Ballast runs the Pheonix 14K's pretty blue. I'm thinking of testing out another bulb to see if I can get it a little less blue.

My blue background doesn't help either
