Lighting
I have been using a USHIO UHI-250W 10K double ended Metal halide bulb
for years now. Has anyone tried the Hamilton Technology 10K or 14K bulbs? Any feedback on them and I am thinking of switching to the 14K bulb, any feed back on this as to color rendition or coral growth? Thanks Rob

Rob,
I have a DE MH set up using 2 - 250w bulbs and one 150w bulb. I think Ushio and Hamilton both make excellent bulbs. The Hamilton are more pleasing to my taste from a bluer appearance for the 250w bulbs. As far as the coral are concerned its not a big deal either way. It depends on your budget. The 250W DE bulbs have gotten great growth. I would prefer 2 54w T5's actinics instead of the 150 20K. The mh full 20K do not bring out colors as well.
