Purchased my first metal halide retro today. It's a 250w setup and I borrowed a bulb from the store until I figure out what I want to run. I'm leaning toward the 10k venture as I will not be using supplemental light. This is going on a 20 gallon tank so there's not enough room for flourescents. They have 400w venture 10k's on there sps tank and it has great color. Before I spend around $100 on a light bulb, which I never thought I'd do, give me some opinions...later

I'm running a 250 watt double ended AB 10k bulb on my 29 gallon reef. I retrofitted it into a PFO combo pendant so I can run PC actinics with it. It works incredibly well. Since I doubt your fixture is for a DE bulb I suggest the Ushio or AB 250 watt 10k mogul bulbs, I've used them both and they are pretty attractive and not too expensive.
