lighting suggestions

[flipit13]

i currently run HQI 150w 20k light with led atinic suppliment. my light is on its way out and needs to be changed. i want to know should i do 20k again or 14k and why. i have had good growth with the 20k and was told i would get more from 14k. is that true?
also would my corals go through a new light learning curve?

thanks

Rick, yes and yes - yes that you will get more growth and yes that you're corals will need to go through a curve as the 14k will likley have more PAR and that may mean cutting back on the lighting interval for the first week or two.

You know my regimen - 6 hours per day, 14k phoenix, not actinic supplementation,

Phoenix all the way!
