What do you recommend for a replacement bulb for a metal halide

[geckoman2003]

I have a JBJ 28 gal HQI Nano-Cube. I need to replace the 150 watt double ended 14000k that's in it now. So I would like to know what brand / bulb everyone is have the best results with.

I'm thinking I would like a little more blue then the currently getting. So should I go with a 20000k?

I have SPS, acans, chalice, sharooms, and GBTA.

20k radium
14k phoenix

Either one should is better than the stock lighting. The radium will be a little more blue.

[geckoman2003]

Well it would seem to be Radium is the choice.

Has anyone used the Ushio or XM 20k?
