150w Double ended light bulb Qustion

[Zuska]

Im looking for 150w bdoubs ended bulbs. I am currently running Phoenix 14k.

-Are there any other bulbs around the same color that will run better on my system, better colors in coral?

I run my MH about 8 hours a day.

Well different brands or temperatures can have different affects on corals. Which colors in particular are you not happy with?

I ran Phoenix for three years and then switched to Reeflux 12K and got a different result in regards to colors. I had a difficult time deciding on which bulb to buy this year and ended up repurchasing Reeflux 12K. I was considering trying the EVC 20K, but decided to try it on my smaller system first to see if I really like it.

Good luck with your decision. With so many choices, and the expense of the bulbs, it's not easy deciding.

In the 150w DE version, phoenix was my favorite for color and growth. Lots of guys love the radium 20k. I never tried it.

If you're looking for a bulb around the same color, what will make a different bulb run 'better' on your system? What makes 'better colors in coral?'? Sounds like it ain't broke. Why try fixing it? I like the Phoenix bulbs too.

If you're just looking for a change to have a change, then the Radium might be a viable option. Whatever it is, you'll only be looking at it for 6-8 months, then you change it out again anyway. Or sooner if you don't mind shelling out the greenbacks.
