They do that. You can't link people to the ZEOvit site, even. Go ahead, let them crash their tank because you're afraid to let people link to other pages.

Anyway, I'm using 20K right, 250w DE bulb, Coralvue. I'm looking to change and wanted something of the color of a 20K Radium, but only SE bulbs, so it's a no-go for me. What would you all recommend? I was thinking maybe XM or even going so far as to try the Geisemann 22K megachrome.

I kinda expected a lot more people would be running 10k's just for the growth. Huh...

I tried the stock 10K that came with my fixture, but man, that thing was just waaaaay too bright. I didn't want to get blinded each time I looked at my tank.

I just switched from 10K's to phoenix 14K's. I love the new bulbs!!! It's not too blue, but it brings out the colors great!

I love the 20k radiums (250 watt) I've tried all the XM bulbs, hamilton 14k and the Radium are my favorite by far. Good growth and looks good not too blue like the xm 20K (run on electronic ballast)

Help me decide for COLOR only, not for growth. I have two 30 inch deep displays and am going to set up a shallow frag tank w/175w halides.

Again, I'm only interested in color, not growth.

Thanx
