Hey all,
I am trying to get my lighting ordered for my 45 gallon tank so that I can begin buying corals. I am purchasing 2-150 W MH pendants from here.

The site allows me to select a bulb color choice for my fixture. Would you order 6700k, 8000k, 10000k, 14000k, 20000k. Some background on my tank is that it will be MH only for a while, but I will eventually be adding a Sunlight Supply T5HO retro kit for actinic supplementation. Which bulb color would you select with that in mind...I like a hint of blue, so I was thinking 14000k...but I want the bulb that will give me the best coral growth and color...
What do you suggest?
After the factory bulbs die, I was thinking of running either pheonix or radium. But these bulbs will need to last me the first six or nine months.
