Ushio/Phoenix

[Frank]

I am going from a 10K to a 14K which is the prefered bulb of my fellow refers.

I use to run the 14k Phoenix but changed to the 20k Ushio. My corals have better color in them and I have noticed no change in growth. But not only do my corals look better the colors are more vibrant! I have had a colony of purple deaths that wouldn't stay purple and more of a brown, but with the Ushio 20k they are turning more purple.

deffinately not a 14k ushio, its a crisp white
phoenix is more of a white with a tint of blue
ive had both so these are first hand accounts

I use 15K XM bulbs & really like them as well...

Yeah I had both the ushio and pheonix 14k. My choice would be the pheonix as the ushio is a crisp white and a hint of yellow to me. Where the Pheonix is white with a good amount of blue in it.
