if supplementing with actinics, the XMs.
if not, the reeflux 12k are a good choice.
have you considered the 14k phoenix? i would take that over the other 3.

 

[anamilasti]

no i havent yet, the site im gona buy from dosent carry pheonix.
theres somethign i like about havign a 12k bulb.
thsi way i can suplement 1 actinic blue in the front of my tank and 1 actinic white in the back (this will brighten up my backround)
but i will do some research on the pheonix

I am a big fan of Hamilton 14k's myself..

I love my phoenix 14k's. They have a wonderful color. I also run 2 110w vho super actinics with them. I was running ushio 10ks before I got these and was amazed at the difference. Have had very good growth with them as well.

either way, both the reeflux and XM's are great bulbs.
