Time for a new lamp

[Anonymous]

Time to replace one of my lamps. It has about 12 months on it from using on my 60 for 6 months and now this tank.

I'm looking to stay 10k, 250 watt DE

What is a good bulb and who has the better prices. Currently I run and XM and like it.

If you like it, stay with it.

By the way, Waz, you have 2 actinics in there, right? Have you tried a 20K bulb before? Specifically the XM 20k?

I find that this site has prices near $10 less per bulb than most. http://www.coralreefecosystems.com/ltg_bulbs-mh.asp

Basically the same price as Aquabuys plus I can pick up all the equipment locally! 8)

I do have 2 actinic. I am trying to stay white to slightly blue. I think 20kk would be too blue for my liking.
