I used the Iwasaki 15k (some sources say 14k, but the box says 15k, and looks more like what most manufacturers call 10k, but supposedly closer to 'true' 15k) 175w SE version. Very bright, not as yellow as the XM10ks I had previously. I liked them but after the corals grew up from frags to colonies I have gone to bluer bulbs to slow down the growth.
