Need help picking a MH bulb

[DAP]

I do know I want something between 10,000 and 20,000k.

The light is 250watt, I am either putting it on my 20 gallon or my 29 gallon.

 

It is between,

1. german 10k,

2. sunburst 12k

3. "regular" as in not german 20k

 

I want a slight blue tone to my tank, but I dont want it to look like I only have my actinics on either.

 

I will be running 2 55watt actinics with the MH.

 

I asked my LFS what temp bulbs they were running and they didn't know, The guy that ordered them and set it all up only works once a week.

 

Here is a link to the fixture I am going to buy:

Does anyone have any experience with them.

 

Thanks

iwasaki 50K aqua gets my thumbs up. it's not overly blue as i was worrying. the color is like a 50/50 fluorescent. i dunno if it comes in 250w tho. hope this helps.

 

perhaps this site might help too
