are they better than the coral life? i need to order 4 for my coral life aqualight pro 150w

i also need to find some that are the size of my bio cube if anyone knows of good ones.

I just got some recently. They kick ass and are way better than the coralife. All sorts of crazy colours I never new I had in the tank are showing up. You're welcome to come check'em out on my tank if you want.

thanks for the offer scuba steve, i trust you and i just ordered 4

[ScubaSteve]

Good call! Remember to reduce your actinic time when you change them and then slowly increase the time again. They're crazy bright compared to the coralife. A few of my colonies weren't too happy with the change over initially and bleached a bit but are now bouncing back with great colours (I forgot to reduce my actinic time).

what did you use for MHs? i was thinking doing 14k phoneix

[ScubaSteve]

I use the 14K Phoenix as well. Again, you're welcome to come see it before buyin'. It's definite change from the stock Coralife MH but I'd never go back.
