Anyone here run the Reeflux 12k or 10k SE bulbs? I was gonna go with the 12k bulbs, but i got a great deal on a couple of the 10k's. any experiences, whats the color like?

I thought Fly-Guy used those awhile back. I could be totally wrong on that one though. They are a cheap bulb though. The price is pretty low. Im not sure. Heres a article in Advanced Aquarist you could read. Later Ryan

i have really no idea what that site showed. lol.. only thing i could really understand was when they talked about the 250w mogul 10k. which they say should be whiter then most 10k's out there.

at 65 bucks a pop, i dont find that too cheap :p i could get my hammy 14k's for like 45 :p but i guess the xm's and the like run more then that .. and these were 2 10k's for 53 shipped :D so i thought i might as well try em out, since im not impressed by this 14k. growth is bad, par is bad.. just blech. and it needed replacing anyways.

so i guess we'll see, i'll be the guinea pig for us (laugh) (rock2)

I have heard good things about the 10k's. I chose to go with the 14k's because I was worried the 10k's would be too yellow like the ushio 10k's I had but the 14k's are too blue for me. I will have to go with the 10k's next time.

well..got the bulbs in.. and to my dismay, they look nothing like pics that ive seen of them, with a crisp white color. might be my ballast.. just a regular PFO ballast. but definately on the yellow side, even with my atinics on.

ill try to post some pics, gotta get a battery for my camera. i might let it burn in for a bit, but most likely they will be going up for sale, or trade.
