Hey guys, i'm currently running a 250watt MHL 20,000K pendant over my 54 g open top reef. The bulb is almost a year old and i plan on changing it soon. My question is what's the difference between the "10K, 14K, 20K"? are there any pros/cons between the three? i know they look different but which do you prefer. Would my tank be ok if i switched from a 20K to a 14K? Just trying to decide on what to do. If anyone out there has any pics they would like to share of thier MHL's or can show me the difference between the bulbs i would appreciate it.

I like my 12k reef flux...or I've seen and like xm20kk very much. No actinic supplement needed.
