 Lighting Question!!! Ok I have 2 150W MH bulbs in my lighting system now, and when the time comes to get new bulbs, I was wondering if I could use one 14000, or 15000 bulb and the other one 20000K bulb? Or does anyone know what would be the better thing to do? I basically have FOWLR with like 2-3 corals in there now, but plan on a bunch more, will end up doing a reef system, so I need some help with this??  |

| Re: Lighting Question!!! I would personally go with 14,000 kelvin.But it all depends on what you plan on keeping as far as corals.Some people prefer different color temps. But i like my 14,000(nice blue but not 20,000 blue.
