The temperature rating of a bulb has no correlation to wattage. A bulb consuming 175 watts will remain the same regardless of the bulb's kelvin rating. Personally, I find 20k kelvin bulbs are decent looking on well stocked tanks. If you're running a 'bare bone' tank with not much live rock and corals, then you'll get nothing but glowing blue sand. It is really preference. Take up some of the member's offers and go take a look. It's the only real reference you'll be able to get.

Because you have supplimental VHO actinics for color, I would go with 10K bulbs, I really like the look of my XM 10K with VHO actinic suppliments. If you want to save money and ditch the VHO, go with 20K bulbs. I have XM 20K and they look almost as good as XM 10K w/VHO actinics IMO. |
