Not happy with tank after new bulbs looking for suggestions

I went from 3 x250 DE 10k and 2x150 DE 20k to all 14k phoenix. I like the blue but lost IMO growth and overall health of the tank. I feel I need to get back to the 10k which gave me such good growth and overall health.

Opinions on the best 10k bulb out there? also would you replace the 3 250 DE or the 2 150 DE

Thanks

I would replace the 3-250's

thats my thought also. But which bulbs are the top of the line for growth and health?

I would go back with the 10k's you were happy with.

Have no idea brand. They came with the aquascape system I got with no markings on the outside of them

Ushio 10K rock! Fads come and fads go, but Ushio 10K will stand the test of time.
