Suggestions for 400SE MH bulb

[Homey the Reefkeeper]

It's about time to replace the 10k bulbs Im running and I was wondering if anyone can provide some insight into what new bulbs I should get. I have a variety of corals but my tank is mostly SPS and I'd like a bulb that has good PAR value and promotes color.

I thought about going with the AC 14k bulbs, but the cheapest price is $144 a pop at premium aquatics and this seems too expensive.

Anyone with suggestions?

all depends what kind of ballast you using.i would say xm 10k with actinic supplementation

I don't know the specifics of my ballast except that it is a Hamilton magnetic ballast.
