My favorite 175 mh are the Iwasaki 15k, better color and higher par. However nothing wrong with either of the others.

Now is the time to buy with all the sales going on at every online vendor. Look at premium aquatics

I am a big fan of the coralife 10k.

I personally wouldn't buy a 10k bulb. I've used the Iwasaki 15k in the past and liked it. I've been using the $20 20k PlusRite MH bulbs for the past few years and I've been really happy with them. I buy them from Light Bulb Supply Inc.
