Changing MH bulbs
I will be changing my MH bulbs from 250W 15000K to 250W 20000K radiums. I was wondering if going to a higher K bulb would lower par readings in my tank.
Does anyone know the answer to this question? |

which 15K? You may actually get more PAR from the Radium, depending on the ballast you are using.

The bulb is a 250W 15000k XM and my ballast is a Lumateck select a watt 250/400.

Won't be much difference in Par, the Radium is a strong 20K.
