By far my favorite DE bulb. I have one thats over 1 1/2 years old on my frag tank.. YOUR issues, are not from your bulbs.

Liking things crisp white/blue leaning toward the blue side, in order of favorite from most to least.

Phoenix 14K 250s
Helios 20K 400s (I love the color but the bulbs suck, highly undependable)
Radium 20K 250s or 400s
Reeflux 12K 250s or 400s
XM 20K 400s
Hamilton 14K 250s
Coralvue 20K 400s

Im currently running the reeflux 20K 400s on my display

I was a Phoenix 14KK DE 150W user. But I noticed those bulbs were getting really yellow after about 7-8 months (Icecap electronic ballasts.)

Now I use the Ushio 14KK's. Love them.
