Recently switched back to halides - 150w HQI Hamilton setup - and couldn't be happier. Bulb selection is limited in 150w DE so went with the tried and true Phoenix 14k. Very happy with how the corals have responded but it's not as blue as I remember. My memory, which may be failing me, thought it was pretty blue although not as blue as a 400w Radium SE.
For those of you that run Phoenix DE bulbs: are you running supplemental actinic LED's? My bulb is two weeks in so it should be burned in. Maybe I'm just compromised because of running ATI Blue+ T5's and a Radion.
