    I have a MH/VHO light fixture I haven't use in 10yrs, I have a 90gal That I'm getting ready to get going and was wondering if someone could point me to the best bulbs to get..It has 2 175watt MH's and 2 40watt VHO's..


    I was looking at the Coralife Mogul Base Metal Halide Screw socket, Either the 10000k or the 20000k

    Question, The 10000k will be more white and the 20000k will be more blue'ish?? And is this the best bulb to get??


    As for the VHO's I'm not even sure which ones to get?


    Thanks so much for any help!
