I bought acurrent dual 150 hqi fixture used. I thought I would buy new bulbs. I just ordered these bulbs and i should of asked here first but what do you all think.
Ushio 150 Watt 20K HQI DE Lamp
these should be a little bluer than the 14k i have in there now. Are these any good,. Anyone have them?

20k are fine, they're just really blue. they wont give you the growth of say a 10k bulb, and dont have the par to reach the bottom of really deep tanks.

20k also have a very dim look to the eye.
Ushio are decent bulbs you might need to brighten the tank up with some PC 10k's IMO
