in my opinion nothing looks like a 250 watt radium on a proper M80 ballast.
I ended up going with AB10K's which are realy 13K's with two URI super actinic VHO's this was close to the radiums, but I actualy liked it better. the AB's give a ice white look. Steve

The 14K phoenix SE's are pretty close to Radiums on a M80 ballast. At least on my tank they were
They are cheaper too

I bought them from Premium Aquatics in the states, shipped by usps so no brokerage fees and for some reason no taxes either

So Marie you're not running those bulbs any longer? Can I ask why and what you run now?
I'm even considering going the opposite direction and going with XM 10ks lol. PAR monsters (also wattage monsters though). I know everything is relative but I have heard some people refer to the XM 10k as a crispt white light? Is this just a nice way of saying super bright yellow? I imagine the growth (and coral burn) potential would be unreal. On Sanjay's site the Radiums output 85 ppfd each on M80s and the Xm 10ks are 182! Thinking I could raise my hood a bit to improve the terrible access I have easily with such output.
