I have had my odyssea 48" dual 250 DE watt fixture for about 6 months now, and i realize it is not the best fixture out there.
I am wanting to change the bulbs and go with 14k bulbs, and im not sure where the best place to buy them is or even what brand everyone recomends. Thanks in advance for any input.
 
I like the aquamaxx bulbs it's cheaper then the others and it gets good par numbers. After I put them in on my system I don't even use my VHO actinic anymore
 
I think a lot of people will agree that Phoenix 14K bulbs are good, both here and on reefcentral. You can get them for a great price locally at SOS lighting in Garland and save on shipping costs, but I guess that's a long drive from your neck of the woods. HTH
 
I would have to say if you like bluer hues I would go with the Phoenix. Aquamaxx is still blue but the Phoenix is more blue if you want I have a spare set of phoenix bulbs you welcome to borrow to see if you like it. And at the same time you can see how the aquamaxx looks like in my tank
