Lumen Max or Max II for 265
I will be ordering the reflectors for my 265 build later today and just wondered if I should go with the Lumen Max or MaxII. I am going with SE 250W lamps over the tank which will be predominately sps. The reflectors can be mounted with 15-20 inches from the lamp to water surface. I am trying to cover an area approx 24 x24 for each lamp, with three total MH.

I have gone with the max elite as that seems to be the best bang for my bucks. I am able to pick up three newer Ice Cap MH ballasts (yes I know they do not exist but this deal is too sweet to pass). The question I have is which lamp, SE, would give me the best growth and color on these ballasts? I used to use XM but believe they are best run on magnetic and would love to go with Radiums but I don't think they'll last on IceCap. Any suggestions?
