Lot of people are noticing that Reeflux 12k has a super high 430-450nm spike - So you get colouring more like a xm 20k, with the growth of a 10k.
XM 15k's I find to be pretty nice looking - not sure on par / growth on them though...

I personaly would go with the AB 10K, its actualy output is a true 13.5K which gives a nice crisp white with a tiny hint of blue.. then a couple VHOs round it off to amazing.. not only are you getting nice coloe but not much beats the AB in PAR output and if on a good proper ballast you can get up to 2 years out of them (mine are two years old and I had to put one back in as I have a bulb crack and it is still brighter and whiter than the new bulbs

Steve Im not actually running any actinic or supplement lighting just the dual 400's that i have going from 1-8 Pm i have 2 mini compact lights that run from 7am til 1 pm in the after noon to wake up and to have until the main lights come on they are 10 w each just enoough to light the tank.
But will the AB bulbs still ahve that nice blue or should i go with a 14 K bulb. or even the 20 K radium
