ReefLux 10k(at least 400w version on IC ballast or CV ballast) is an awesome color and makes blues look 'out of this world'.

Best bulbs I've ever used. I have used 250w 10k and 12k on magnetic and electronic ballasts. I now have 12k on 400w EVCs and am getting some 10ks to try. Love the color of all of them.

IS IT TRUE THAT YOUR SPS GROWS QUICKER UNDER THE 10K

Sure, for most acropora and montipora the output in the main growth spectrum is higher in 'most' 10k's than in 12k's,14k's, or 20k's.

I had 2 250 10ks running without actinics for a while and it looked very crisp and white. I sell them through my company. In fact most of the lighting supplies I use come from Coralvue.
