What kind of corals do you have?

Well, the higher K-rated bulb should show off the colors of the phosphorescent corals that you have better. But, I can tell you that for some corals, the color-rendition of the bulb doesn't matter all that much. I just upped the k-ratings on my lighting somewhat and the turquoise colored corals seem to show off better while some other corals don't look any better. There's a bit of a gamble in the change.

Yes. New Ballast

i understand what your saying not all corals have that phospheresence

but like my flower pott it was so much more oh that glow

if i wanted to use a 70 watt halide bulbe instead of the 150 watts do i have to get a new ballsat?:iamwithst

Unicorn....go to http://www.hellolights.com....and you can call them up and tell them specifically what your current fixture includes and what you're goal is. I've found them to be completely helpful. I recently had a problem...not the same as yours...but not too different...regarding color rendition of the bulbs I had which weren't satisfactory and I described everything to them and they made recommendations that worked very well for me. I think that's the way to resolve your problem. And, if you do, please post the resolution here.

can someone tell me what bulb to get to have that florecent glow


150 watts 20 k... link?plz:splitspin

Hopefully someone who has the same kind of set up will chime in here and maybe post some pics of what their lighting looks like in that kind of tank.

You could also speak with any of the vendors here that deal in lights (we have quite a few!) They are also very experienced also with the different bulbs out there and I'm sure they would be a great help to you

i used to have a viper 150 with a phoenix 14k and i liked the amount of blue it gave off.

 

[CHEMCHEF]
