Default Got Light? Need some suggestions

Who here has the Current Outer Orbit HQI (besides me lol )

I have the 72" 3x250w fixture, complete w/ lunar panels/T5's

Question on who feels what bulb out there is the best for reef keeping?

Throw some of your favorites on here, why you like them, and help me decide which to get.

I like the blue hue, but don't want my entire tank to have a deep ocean blue and block out the colors of my corals, lol

I am replacing the MH's and T's I have....
MH = 10K T5s= 39w 420mm Actinic

There are several out there.... Aquarium Pet Fish Supplies, Tank Accessories, Products & Equipment alone has XM, Phoenix, Iwasaki, MegaChrome... who has good / not so good thoughts on the type of bulb they are using... and why?

Thanks for sharing
!

Phoenix 14K's are always a good choice. Lots of blue, and lots of PAR. For the T5's that's going to depend on what you want to use them for, and what effect you want to get. There are a ton of options there.
