MH recommendation

[dakota1972]

So looking to switch out my 2 250w DE bulbs and looking for recommendations. Best growth? Looking at 14 to 20 k just doing know if I want all the blue that the 20s put off
Thanks for input

When I ran MH I really liked the XM 20k bulbs. Had good growth and color, and a really nice look.

You might want to check into the Phoenix 14k bulbs. They seem to be really popular and are what I run. I like them but since they're the only de bulb I've run, I have nothing to compare them to.

Phoenix 14K if you have HQI ballasts. If you electronic ballasts, then XM 20K are really good.

I run Phoenix 14K on HQI (M80) if you ever want to have a look.

They phoenix are about $55 each on marine depot just about any time.
