    Which bulb has a higher PAR value? I didn't see the Giesemann 14.5K on Sanjay's site. I will be running 250 watt Double Ended bulbs on a PFO HQI ballast. Not sure all the bulb values are valid either because the Giesemann 13K Coral bulb has a higher PAR value than the Giesemann 10K bulb but the Giesemann 10K bulb has a higher PAR than the Giesemann 13K Megachrome bulb.

    Really? What was the PAR and who makes the meter you are using? Do you work at a fish store?
