Need quick lighting help buying it right now online

I am buying a 2 250 watt MH and 2 110 Watt VHO hood for my aquarium from Marine Depot right now and was wondering if the 12,000 or 10,000 lamp is better for SPS and Acro's. Thanks. And again I trying to place the order asap so any quick resposes sure would help. Thanks again.

Go with the 10,000. The 12,000 are not that good. I hsd them a switched to the 10,000

might want to do a search on the 10,000W brand name to see what kind of 'color' your going to get out of the actual bulb. Different brands have different shades of blue.

Champion has a good description...i think...let me see if i can find that url.. one moment.
