The difference between them is the color that gives rise to the water - that different wavelengths of light to create different colors to express. But instead of choosing what looks good to you, you have to choose us to meet the needs of corals that we have.
The biggest difference is that when metal halide lamps, (alone or in combination with other driving with actinic light, in particular, to a deep blue, as you work at night,) underwater. If you use actinic, I would be the 14K that comes closest to the natural light in the tropical midday with about 30 meters deep in water. If you do not actinic, I would get the 20K, because it is the effect of actinic 14K more simulated.
If you have actinic, coral is the advantage of all the lights are on a timer, so you can simulate sunrise (1-2 hours of actinic only), (actinic midi + halides), and in the evening (actinic only 1-2 hours) . This is a gradual rise and fall of light, so that the fish do not be alarmedand if a few hours of the moon, we could have the reproduction of natural coral (the release of gametes, and not only the division).
