xm 20k?

[RPetty]

i just ordered three xm 20k bulbs for my 72" 3x150w MH fixture. i wanted the 14k phonex but they were not in stock so the guy at helolights said the xm 20k were just as nice. do any of you have any experence with these bulbs? are 20k to blue?

This is what i had before I needed to change them. I liked the color to the eye in my 75g tank. I wasn't much of a fan of them in my 29g when I did an experimental swap a while back.

Too blue for my tastes, though the actual burning color will depend upon the ballast used.
