lighting switch

[sowellj]

So my current lighting set up is 3 400W radiums run on galaxy ballasts. I really like the color, but, I have a new tank and would like to grow my frags out a bit, then possibly switch back to the radiums. I am thinking of trying out the reeflux 12ks to get a bit better growth. Anyone have opinions on these (or others)? Thanks for the help.

Xm10ks are beasts!!!! They will grow and bleach coral in a hurry lol.... Just have to put up with a real yellow look for awhile....:(

I have the Reeflux 20k 250w and they look more like a 14k bulb. I have read that the 12k are white

Doesn't look to yellow in the pic but after staring at 20ks for years these scared me for awhile lol....this is when I ran them...

I have one of the old oceanic 180 tanks that has the massive glass bracing over the center. Maybe I'll try a XM10K over the center.

Make sure the lamp is up high so it don't cook that brace and crack it.... Sure you prolly already know that...;)
Btw that was my last tank I got a bigger one now but it's a standard box.... Lol
