Metal Halide Experience
I was wondering if anyone has some pictures of their tanks with either 14 or 15k metal halides over them...
I just purchased a aqua medic fixture with 2x250watt 10k and 1x150 20k...I am thinking of switching the 10k's over to 14K or 15K to shy away from any possible yellow hue |

I use 10k in my MH set up. It balances out nicely with the actinics that I run with it.
