What do you think about this bulbs Aqualine AB 20K HQI for a SPS tank?

other question is I have a 2 HQI 250W on a 55G tank than I want to turn it into SPS this year (that is why the bulbs too), Should I cahnge to T5 or stick to the HQI?

I have reeflux 250W HQI 12K but I really not to convince about the color on the corals.

Thank you

I tried it as well as the 12K Reeflux and didn't like either one.

I started with Phoenix 14K and went back to them after trying those and Ushio 20K.

The thing is everyone has different tastes, for me the blue was too dim for me. It would probably look nice as 400w instead.

Good luck!

What I heard is than reeflux 400W are bluer. but for a 55g I thin 400W will tost the corals. I am concidering the 250W I my change to 4 or 6 t5Â´s
