Best 150w MH bulb?

I currently have 150 w MH sunpod light over 34g tank. I keep mostly soft corals, some Lps, and anemone. I want my corals to look nice! I currently have an original bulb the light came with and my corals don't "pop". I also used XM 20k bulb in the past and the color was better, but not as good as I would like it to be.
I was thinking about 14k phoenix, or 20k radium bulb? The goal here is to have best color, and keep my corals happy! I want my neon green sinnularia to look the way it did at my lfs! Any suggestions?
Thanks!

XM20k are pretty good for pop they are just visually a little dim compared to radium and ushio 20k. I would try Radiums or Ushio. If you really want ultimate pop adding an actinic flourescent tube is the way to go. the ushio does green really well.
