Ive added a poll with a couple options. I am using a 250wt SE with a icecap ballast...my XM15k bulb is in need of replacement and I am looking for some suggestions. I have this MH over a 25gal cube about 14inches above the water column.

Thanks in advance!
 
Do you have any supplemental light, or is the MH your only light?

If you have supplements, then I'd go with Phoenix, but if no supplements, then I'd go with either the XM (which I have, but in DE, and am happy with) or Radium (which if they made them in DE I'd probably have).

Good luck!
