Does anybody use coralvue reeflux? If so, what is your opinion on them? I am using Hamilton 250w 20K and although my corals like that light, I am not pleased with the left side of the tank. For some reason, that side looks bluer, thus darker to me.
I switched out the left side for a coralvue reflux 10k and definately noticed a way brighter color. It was too yellow for my liking though. I was wondering maybe the 14k would give me a more blue color that I want.
Any thoughts or experience?
 
Haven't used them. According to Joe Burger's analysis, Coralvue lamps consistently give the lowest PAR value for a given color temperature. Sanjay Joshi did an analysis of the spectra of several 400W CV lamps and the 10000 K CV 250W here. A lot depends on the ballast.

I have been very happy with XM 10000 Ks. High PAR, crisp white.
