R-3 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Just saw this on another forum that Phoenix is releasing a new mogul base version of there double-ended bulb that everyone loves. Im a little dissapointed in the price but maybe they will come down. http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem.aspx?category=14000K_Metal_Halide_Bulb___Phoenix__Mogul_Base_Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies_Lighting_Light_Bulbs_Metal_Halide_Single_Ended_150_Watt&vendor=Phoenix&SearchStr=mb2651+mb6667&action=view&idProduct=MB2651&idCategory=FILTBUMHSEHW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Radium price range. I'll stick with Radiums. But I would like to try one someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Are they really good? What makes them better than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 At least in the DE version they have a really nice color for a 14k and your corals acheive really good growth under them. Also it helped that the DE version were like $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdadof2 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I run a 14k phoenix over my nano and LOVE the color and growth that it provides. On my cube I am looking at getting a hamilton 250w halide that has two CF actinics. I just don't know what halide color to go with....10k, 14k?

CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I would say 14k but that is just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
