I'm planning to replace my year old 10K HQI bulbs with something more blue. I have 4x250W in there now, but am considering purchasing 4 Ocean HQI bulbs at either 14K or 20K (the price is just too good to pass up, unless someone here says they suck).
So I was wondering if anyone had some pictures of their tank under 14K and 20K as I'd like to see just how blue the 20K bulbs are.
And of course if you have any knowledge of the Ocean HQI bulbs then I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks guys!

3 x 250w 14K CORALVUE bulbs.
new tank not too much to represent the color but I think it is a perfect blue not too much. You have any actinics?

P.S. mine is halide only, no actinics so with your T5 and halide combo I think it would be plenty blue. If you have the t5s and went with 20k as well, it would probably be obnoxiously blue IMO. :joy:

I would suggest the 14k's. I just replaced my 20k's with 14's and it is alot brighter, but still has enuf blue with the actinic bulbs with it. Ths 20k's dont give near as much growth as the 14's
