Hi gang!
Can someone tell me if there's a big difference between 14000K and 15000K. I'm trying to build a halide setup, and I want to do it right the first time. BTW,...I'm doing this for my BioCube29.
Here's what I got so far:

SuperReef 15000K HQI Metal Halide 150W watt Double Ended Lamp Item number: 170819574732

Metal Halide DIY Reef Retro/Retrofit 150W HQI Pendant Item number: 290594356736
150W Metal Halide Electronic Ballast HQI Aquarium Light 110V to 240V Universal Item number: 180872467025
Am I allowed to say these are on eBay? If so, can someone tell me if I'm going in the right direction?
Thank you bunches!

Also,...
Are all 150W bulbs that same size?
Meaning,...Will all 150W bulbs fit into a 150W fixture?
Thanks!

We'd rather EBAY not be mentioned but you didn't link anywhere so no worries.
As far as Kelvin color, a 14000K can vary a LOT just between manufacturers so there's no way to answer your question truthfully. In theory, a 15000K should only be slightly bluer than a 14000K.
All of the 150w double ended HQI bulbs will fit your socket.

Whew! Ok,...cool! I'd hate to break our posting rules.
Thanks!
