i decided to stop thinking about it so much...just put the sunpod 150w on my 20h and i LOVE it, obviously the intensity is much better, but so is the color...its crisper and i have the ripple effect in my tank, on my wall, and on my ceiling, i LOVE IT

Ok, just to clarify things for me and others. Can I put a 70 Watt MH over my 10 Gallon and succefully keep softies, lps, sps and clams?

I definitely think so

are they making DE 70w Pheonix Bulbs, looking to replace the stock sunpod fixture

you know, i didn't really see what everyone was talking about with the color on the sunpod until now. I do like it, but it could use some more blue, and from what i hear phoenix is the way to go, i do no know about the 70w's though unfortunately

Brad - I do like the stock Current USA brand 14K lamp that comes with the 70w Sunpod. For me it was also not quite blue enough. I decided to try the 70w Ushio 20K and it was just about perfect. A good amount of blue but still balanced looking. The PAR is actually higher than the Current 14K lamp so it was a great upgrade.

good info sam, thanks...you don't normally expect the better par from the higher K
