MH Bulb Help

[Anonymous]

I'm running 250w hqi and looking for some new bulbs. Xm 10ks were too yellow, the 20ks were too dim. Reeflux 12k were too dim. I am currently using phoenix 14k, and I like the brightness, and everything about the colors except the reds and oranges. I have mostly sps, and the oranges and reds just look kinda blah. Any thoughts on a bulb? Has anyone used any of the giesmann coral bulbs?

How do the reds and oranges look under them?

Read Sanjay Joshi's articles on Spectral analysis. That will help you decide. Here are the articles on 250w double ended bulbs:
