Hello Steve, I'm running 2 Reeflux 10k 400w on HQI ballast without any Atinic suppliment. The two bulbs provide crisp white with a tint of blue spectrum. You can click onto my Redhouse to see pic.

Have you check with custom aquatic? They should have it in stock. IMO, Reeflux 10k is awesome

I am running 3 250W 14K DE Hamilton bulbs, Lumenmax IIIs and Icecap ballasts.

I plan to run two 6 FT VHO's (URIs) over the tank for some supplemental lighting, I have not gotten to it yet.

Here's a pic with just the halides:

I'm using 3 250w 14k Hamilton halides with 2 96w super actinic VHOs. Beyond a calcium reactor, I only dose iodine weekly. (or when I remember )
