Thats what I may have to do then. Go with T5 for daylight with actinic suppliment.
I am running the phoenix 14 in Lumenbright pendants and galaxy ballasts. The bottom of the pendant is probably 5 or 6 inches from the water surface, 8-10 inches from the top of the corals. The bulbs is even higher. I was thinking of trying 20k but I dont need 250w over an 17" deep tank.

I think your pendants are too close to the water surface.
I used to run the lumen bright pendants. When I had them on my display they were mounted around 12" off the water surface and on our shallow coral beds they were mounted 18"-24" above the water surface depending on the coral bed. I had to build a crazy tall canopy for my display to accomodate these reflectors and I ended up switching them out for T5 almost right away... Then shortly added the Reef Brites as suplimentation to the T5's. I was running the same lamps and reflector but on the coralvue dimmable ballsts and i did get some great growth and coloration with that combo.

Thought I'd share an update and give credit where it's due. Especially since I shared a negative experience on this thread
After reading about my issue I got a PM from Pfoster at Reef Wholesale stating that he had never been approached by the retailer about this issue and offering to replace the defective unit. So, I sent him the broken one and got a brand new one in the mail. Gotta say that I'm really impressed with the customer service from Reef Wholesale. It changed a pretty negative experience to a positive one. Thanks
