T5 20k
I've heard the rumor somewhere that there are T5 HO bulbs available with color temp higher than their popular 11K. Is this true? If so, who sell these high color temp bulbs?

The Blueplus/actinic plus T5's from D&D is about the same color as a 12K radium halide. Don't mess with the no name stuff, you never know what you are going to end up with.

Previous post should have said 20K halide. I gotta start wearing glasses to type. It's hell getting old.

So, summing up that T5 HO come in (for reefs) in 6500K, 10000K, 20000K, and actinics.
Is there anything that goes 14000K? or this is just MH realm? |

The Aquablue is very close to the brighter 14K halides. An approximate 50-50 mix of Actinic Plus and Aquablue/GE will get you a solid 14K look.
