RL12k or Radiums 250W SE which is better
Basicly what title says...using aqua connects and the best bulbs ever, but took me 5 bulbs to get a good match...happened twice.very expensive to keep doing this.
tried a megachrome coral 14.5 but no blue enough... Running on an icecap Ballast.. I know radiums and reeflux are very consistant so decideing on these or a combo of 2 radiums and 1x 12kRL in middle.. Thoughts

The radiums are better bulbs, the RL tend to color shift in six months, Just my experience. I love the color of the RL bulbs though.
