Phoenix 250W double ended bulbs

bginop · 08/12/2006, 06:59 PM

Here is my light setup so all of you know how to answer my question better:

The type of ballasts I have are two ARO Electronic ballast (250W), and I have two PFO pendants that have 2 XM 10,000k HQI 250w double ended bulbs.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these particular HQI bulbs. Click here to see the bulbs

What I wanted to know is

*Do you notice a color difference in your invertebrates (colors, anemones, clams, etc) when using these bulbs

*Do you notice growth in your corals when using these bulbs

*Is the bluer tint of color a bit more pleasing to your eyes than a straight white
