[charliethetuna88]

I just ordered 2 new edo watt mh bulbs from hamilton they are 14k I was using reflux for a few years but the last 2 times I've bought them one of the bulbs went after only 2 weeks so I figured I would go back with the hamiltons I have used them a while back and I tHought I liked them I really can't rememebr lol whatta u guys prefeer I done run atinics so 14 k might be a little better for me

reflux 12k is the best I think

Reeflux 12k on a coralife ballast,,,,,nice.. But the ballast sucks I went though 2 of them on one bulb.. Currently running the 400watt 12k on a ice cap ballast with good results so far..

I can only comment on the 12k which I have used in the past and liked them a lot. However with that being said I now use the 20k reeflux. Like you didn't have enough bulbs to consider already....

Lmao yeah I was actually thinking of the 20k I don't have any sps so it really wouldn't matter I bet it looks sweet do u have any pics with the tank under 20k
