dippin61 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 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 http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2005/5/aafeature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippin61 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 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 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 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.

dippin61 Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 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.
