Im running radium 20k's. I love'em with my t-5s. It blues up the entire tank!
thanks! I had to rework the LR a bit. I intend on tryin a 10K once I get my T5's for actinic but that'll be in about 8 months or so when I need to replace bulbs I went with the 14K since I got such a great deal on a brand new bulb (thanks to tomasz) however I think i will try the 10K since I want to get more growth for a while. Then I will switch back to the 14K or a 12K for appearancestoobrie said:youre right they do whiten up a bit, the nice thing about them is there is no need to add actinic. Nice lookin tank btw.
do you have any pictures? any added actinic??Dejavu said:I love my 12k reeflux on my blueline-e ballast. Great color and great growth.
I have 4 39 watt T-5 super actincs on the tank....Tide2Water said:I didn't know they made a 12k. So they make a 10k, a 12k and a 14k? Does any other manufacturer do that? I'll probably look into 12k over 14k I'd like to supplement with actinic but don't want it to be too blue. Black do you supplement with actinic?

The regular Coralvue line is available in 10k, 14k, and 20k varieties. The Coralvue Reeflux line is available in 10k and 12k only. I really like the Reeflux 10k lamps on electronic ballasts. Very nice white with obvious blue tint. The 12k look decent but are not nearly bright enough for me and are really quite blue on eballasts (much more blue than the 10k lamps). The 12k on a PFO HQI ballast looks great (burns whiter than on eballasts) but there are still other lamps out there with much higher PAR values. It all depends on what priorities you have for your lighting.Tide2Water said:Really? I know the blbs we habve at work are reeflux...and I cold have sworn the little white letters say 14000k lol. Makes me wonder what they really are. I'll have to check this afternoon.
