Whats the best 150w de bulb?

It is time to change my mh bulbs and just trying to get the best bulb for the money. Thanks

The choices are limited, and that is really why I switched to 250s.

If your trying to punch to the bottom, you may need a higher PAR and may need to stick to the 10K end of things to do so.

I have the Phoenix 14K on a 24g nano and is a nice balance of color and performance.

When selecting bulbs, I always say pick something you like to look at first, because if you can't stand to look at it.......what's the point?

I think everyone flip flops back and forth trying out different bulbs, if you don't like em......try another.

It really boils down to personal preference IMO.

Thanks that great advice, I have most of my corals up high and run my 2 150w mh with ushio 20ks now and I like the color but wander if I went to a 10k it will make my colors better on my acros , I just hate the yellow look.

I hear the saki 50k is a great bulb

I am using the icecap 10K 150W DE bulb. It provides good color with fast growth for the coral in my frag tank.

Phoenix 14,000K, good par & color.
