Which 150 watt HQI?

I am currently running a 1400k Coral Life and would like a bit more blue. I started out with a 1000k, and wanted more blue, but the 1400 wasnt blue enough. What are the suggestions for a 150 watt HQI bulb?

Phoenix 14,000K has it in 150w DE HQI, If you want it extremely blue, there's a lot of 20,000K MH bulbs available.

Sure do.

Anyone have any experience with JBJ bulbs? Local fish store has a 150 watt JBJ bulb for a decent price.

Then I would probably recommend a XM 20K
