I was wondering which Hqi bulb should i use. I'm going to put 150 watt hqi over a 15 gallon nano. Everyone on Nano-Reef said to go with the 14k Phoenix. I was wanting more of a white light with a very light tint of blue. open for suggestions...
 
Typically 10,000K is white light. 12,000K has a touch of blue. 14,000K has quite a blue hue to it. 20,000K is Bah-lue.
 
I've heard great things about the HQI 10K and 12K CoralVue Reeflux. The Phoenix bulbs seem to be pretty popular as well.
 
I believe the HQI on my 7 gallon is a coralvue reflux 10,000K, and I like the way it looks. I'm also using a daul actinic pc, which gives a good balance with the MH, not much blue at all. I'm thinking about trying a 12,000K or maybe even 14,000K bulb when this one is done.
 
I've seen a website with pictures of the same tank with several different bulbs, it might help you decide.

Does anyone know the link to this site?
