need mh bulb advice

[reefguy1]

Hello everyone,

I currently have a sunpod 2x250 mh fixture with the stock double ended 14000k bulbs, I believe they are sunpod bulbs. I want to go to a 10000k bulb and want to know if anyone has any suggestions on what brand bulb I should go with? the 14k's are a little too blue for my taste. I also have a 96w true actinic to supplement with the 10k's. any help or opinion would be great!

I love my XM10K's,.. they put out a bright white color on electronic ballasts, and put out a tun of light,.. probably close to double what you are getting now.

The Reflux bulbs are also very popular in a 10K range,.. and some people prefer those, they also put out allot of light, though slightly less than the XM's. I can't comment any further on them because I've never run them.
