10k are too yellow for my taste. 20k look nice, but you sacrifice too much coral growth. 14K are a nice middle ground. _________ -Mickey 175g Bowfront - 75g Refugium - 100g Sump - 3 Phoenix 14k 250W MH - AquaC EV240 Skimmer - 240lbs Haitian Live Rock - 4" DSB - Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse - Azure Damsel - Banggia Cardinal - Firefish Goby - Blackcap Basslet - Purple Tang - Powder Brown Tang - Regal Tang - Green Manderin - 2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp - 2 Peppermint Shrimp - 2 Emerald Crabs - Rose BTA - Orange Linkia - Tuxedo Urchin - Spiney Urchin (hitchhiker) |

| Re: What k are your halides?
I use coralvue 20000 k bulbs with a DIY ballast system and 4 normal output actinics but like Mmakay said the the coral does not grow very fast, i would like 10000 k or 14000 k bulbs. Aptasia anemones don't like that spectrum of light, i have not seen one in my tank for a couple of months now, a huge plus for me
