250 Hqi DE bulb?

[Chongpark27]

I'm using 20k hamilton DE 250hqi at the moment, was thinking of switching bulbs. Any suggestion for a bulb that has great color and growth. Pics would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at the Ushio 14k de. I picked mine up from HOF

I second that, but it is not blue at all if that is what you are looking for. Much closer to a 10K than other "14K" lamps.

14K Phoenix 250watt DE in a PFO minipendant w/ icecap electronic ballast. I turn off my actics when my MH is on and the color is very pleasing to my noob eyes

Nice tank! I've been using 250 watt 10K XMs for about 2 years now. I'd really like to go to more blue color but I still want the growth. I'm a creature of habit and my habits are hard to change.
