Ocean Aquatics for the 14k Phoenix and/or JL for the Ushio. No Phoenix listed there.

So I ordered the Phoenix 14k from Wendall. I will review it when I run it for awile.

Here is an interesting observation. I,m running the whatever make 10k bulb that came with my fixture, as I await my order from Wendell. Getting some nice growth already, but better, nice deep colors coming. Great looking purple & pink tips in some of my acro,s. And I,m still running a single layer of window screen after switching from my T-5,s so I dont nuke the corals. Perhaps I wont run the 14k Phoenix.

Fired up the Phoenix last night. I hope it just breaking in as Mike said, because it sure cant compare to my tank with the 10k over it. Nice pretty blue though, fwtw.

Doug - I'm looking to replace my 150w 14k HQI & was wondering how the Phoenix is working out for you? You happy with it? Or prefer you old 10k?

thanks,

I am curious also, my fixture currently has a 14.1k megachrome/geissman that needs to be changed.
