radium 20k vs. jbj 10k (with actinics)
both are double ended. should i replace my jbj 10k with radium 20k and get rid of my pcs for more air ventilation and reduce heat?
here is the link of the MH from marine depot. good price? http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~action~view~idProduct~MB2812~idCategory~FILTBUMHDEHW~category~150_Watts-Double_Ended-Metal_Halide-Bulbs-Lighting-Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies~vendor~~tab~4.html

Get the radiums! Great reviews from marine depot along with everyone on the forums. I haven't seen the DE 150 but if their the same quality as my 250 SE their worth every penny.
If you want to be safe the phoenix 250 DE 14k I can vouch for along with alot of peope on here. I think DE for radiums just came out so verdicts still out there. |

2nd on the 20k radiums or 14k phoenix. Both are awesome bulbs, it depends on what your looking for the phoenix bulbs are a lot whiter and the radiums are on the bluer side.

well if i get the radium, i can get rid of my pc actinics. that would reduce my heat and allow more open space on the top. what do you guys think?

Radium or pheonix 14k both will allow you to ditch the PC actinics.
