one more vote for phoenix. I recentley tried a 14k ushio as my phoenix is over a year old now. the ushio looked very yellow compared to the phoenix so I put the phoenix back in and ordered up a new one. very nice colour, crisp white with a touch of blue. use actinic to give the corals a bit more pop.

Is anyone using the XM 20K? If so, can you post a pic?

out of the MH's I like the phoenix/AC 14k bulbs (same bulb according to sanjay's info). Now THEE best bulb combination I think is a T5 setup with 50% fiji purple and 50% new generation. Looks real sharp but T5's aren't the best choice for everyone.
Anyone have any idea if it's worth it to supplement a 14k MH bulb with T5 fiji purple, or to supplement it with actinics? either or kinda question.

I use two 400 raduim 20k for main lights and one t5 with two blue antinics for my dawn light, and one t5 comes on (white and blue light's ) they come on with one of the Mh bulbs and goes out when the second mh comes on. it reverse for night time .
