Brooks Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) 'Been wanting to buy a lightly used 250w, 20k or 14k Mogul Socket MH bulb. The PAR rating isn't that great with my XM 15k so I'm wanting something more blue with higher PAR.

+mcallahan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Go 10K...killer PAR rating ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Not blue enough :'(... are they? I've heard they were generally white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have some coralife ones and they are more yellow than white. Killer coral growth, but you'll need some powerful actinics to provide some color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Haha... I'll be relying on the MH to provide MOST of the color... so I'm going to try and go with the 14k or 20k. 20k have a lower PAR than the 14k though but the intensity of the blue is outrageous.

Brooks Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 I might run with a Reeflux 250w SE 12k bulb... I've looked at before/afters and the colors look very good. And with 4 T5 Actinics it might be just perfect. What do you guys think? Also, so if anyone has a 250w SE 12k Reeflux out there, LMK.
