Reeflux 12,000K bulb

[Len]

Has anyone seen, read about, or used this bulb? I am well informed about their 10K but not about this 12K bulb I see Premium selling.

I seen two 400 watts over a 120 gallon tank. They are pretty blue. I think they have great color.

I did not expect that color. It reminds me more like a 14kk.

I got a couple of them, I really like it actually I have 2 of them that are space a few months apart, the newer one definately is a crisp white, the older one seems a bit bluer. Overall I think it's a good bulb, don't know anything about PAR readings or any of that though, but I do see nice colors out of my corals.

Get them Len and tell us how you like them. I'd love a bluer lamp that the Reeflux 10K's that I am currently using, but I don't want to give up any PAR.

Thanks Len.

I decided to get the Ushio 14K to try first. Premium finally has them in stock. The PAR on the Ushios have been tested by Sanjay already so I know it's not deficient there. I just need to see how the corals colar up. I'm not super happy with the $$$ Aquaconnects.

My friend uses Ushio 14Ks with no supplementation. There doesn't seem to be any blue to it. Just pure white. He gets great coloration in his corals.

I found a "plain brown stag" type coral I got at a frag swap actually is turning blue under my 12kK reeflux bulbs, what turned into a "oh hell fine I'll get that one" last pick turned into quite a nice piece.
