    what mh bulb should I use?

    I just got my new mh set up it is 175watt x 2. It is a mogal base bulb. I was just wondering what bulb I should use. I have looked at the 175 watt 10k xm bulb and like them. How are these bulbs? Any suggestions of what to use?

    No experience here with the 10K XM, I prefer the Reeflux 10K myself. I can't tell you what color to go for, because that is all personal preference. HTH

    Heck, I would, it could save you $120+ if you like them. I think what you might want to do is start another thread somewhere on here and ask some people for some pics of their tanks with XM bulbs.
