Phoenix 250 DE - yes or no?
Is this still a good bulb? Anything better out there in blue DE 250 watt?

I thought they were kind of blue myself, at first. After a few hours they burned in nicely. Nice crisp pale blue-white. Running it on an icecap HQI ballast.

Been running my two Phoenix bulbs for almost two years now, still love them.
Oh ya, so do my corals.

Love mine....don't even supplement with actinics..doesn't need it. I am interested in the iwasaki DE aqua2 bulb. If it is anything like the 175 SE bulb...it will have some pretty awesome PAR with nice crisp white/blue color. Haven't seen the 250 yet....just the 175??? Awaiting Sanjay's review.....

I did a fair amount of research before I purchased my bulbs. went with the Phoenix 14k 250w and couldn't be happier. (so are all my critters).
