![]() Damn, that hood looks exactly like mine . I was going to order some of those bulbs as well. J&L said they were trying to get some in, but had no time frame.

![]() Yes, M57 is probe start.
I know I've typed in the list (of ANSI #'s and their meanings) a few times in the past. Let me do a search .... OK here is one, there is a breakdown of the ANSI numbers in this thread (second post) http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...ight=ANSI+M137 HTH

![]() The Iwasaki 14K has been making quite a buzz on RC. I haven't seen pics (which are almost always misleading in terms of what you'd see in person) but from all accounts I've read, it's a true 14K colour bulb (white with a very slight blue tint) with enough PAR to give many 250W bulbs a good run.

![]() You guys missed this thread.
![]() http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=25588 I run XM 10k's 250W on another tank, and the intensity is virtually indistinguishable. Not that XM's are no good, quite the opposite in fact, they're a great lamp and I'm a big fan of them. But as good as they are, the Iwasaki is just hands-down the best 175W lamp I've ever run. I regret selling my other 2 M57 ballasts now. I can't wait to see this lamp in other wattages.
