so I happen to have ended up with 14k MH over my tank and I'm very happy with the color, however, I would like to bring out more pinks/purples in a couple of corals so I've been thinking again (always dangerous..) and since I have a few odds and ends around the place I'm looking for some opinions...
I have a 4 x 24w T5 setup with icecap reflectors that I got from Von Digity, and a couple of 70w Aromat 5-EU MH ballasts that I'm considering running 1 or maybe 2 PAR-38 70W MH (6500K), for maybe just 2 hrs / day...
I'm leaning towards the PAR-38, but I don't seem to have much luck finding bulbs that are priced much under $90... does anyone know a good source for PAR-38 MH bulbs ??
the T-5 would run a lot cooler, but I think the MH would just be a lot cooler..
I recently added a fan bar with 4 mag-lev fans on a temp controller, there is room for a couple more so I might need a few more and evap might go up from the 3 - 5% of total tank volume per day it is currently.

MH ?
