I would decide based on the bulb you want to use. In 250, I'd want a phoenix 14k, which is a DE bulb.

Color, growth

I joined the cool club and while I do see benifits of led Im just not getting what I want from them and while I spose you could say mitras, radion pro or hybrid the halide is proven and still used buy the best of the best growers. RR,tyree,cherry,cornbred.
I buy there corals because if there colors. I want to retain there colors

Of coarse I'd want a radium but people are squeaking about the phoenix and the aquamaxx bulbs

I only used geissmann and aqua medic before didn't care for the latter

I never liked the radium in 250, I found it a bit purple for my tastes. My favorite all time bulb is the 400w radium. I think the phoenix 14k is a close rival in color. But whatever you go with, I'm sure you'll be happy with the results!

Everything I read about radiums was on the 400. Not much on the 250

Ill def look into the Phoenix

Might want to look at a Ushio 14K.
My favorite DE 250watt bulb.

I run a 250w Radium (Mogul) and have been for years off of a Sunlight Supply HQI Ballast running to spec and love the color., so do my corals

Are the radiums still easy to find? I recall lastlight having a hell of a time sourcing radiums for his previous 404.
