I just upgraded my lights and I can not be happier. I had 4X110 VHO lighting and I just replaced it with 2X175 MH 12 K reeflux bulbs and I could not be happier. Everything looks so much better. I got 2 reef fanatic ballast and they run so cool that it is not even funny. I am disappointed that they stopped making them. My bulbs are very cool as well. One of the best moves I have ever made in my 7 years of reef keeping. I just thought I would share my good experience with you all. The color of the reef flux bulbs are great. I like it better than my 14K pheonix bulb.

I have corals and I was prepared to acclimate them to the new light, but I was home all day and watching them and they never skipped a beat. Look just fine and opened up all day long and looking good.

reeflux have nice color, but the PAR is horrible. the phoenix have 40% more PAR than the 12k reflux.
