[B]Your old setup's color is really nice, what kind of bulb are you using? It's uber blue, are they radium with actinics? [/B][/QUOTE]

They are Phoenix 14k 250w DE bulbs in Lumenarc mini's

Its blue in the picture because the MH's are off.

Hey btw Gabe Im from Placerville :)

Marc suggest that I elaborate on the Controller I'm getting....

I ordered the Profilux EX pro kit. You can see it at

[url]http://www.aqua-digital.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=85&category_id=14&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=30[/url]

I hope its not a problem since they are a sponsor....

I also got the Expansion socket, WLan and the StimL LED flash stick. I love these controllers because they have so many options and the lightning effects are very cool.
Eventually if they get 39w Dimmable t5's I will switch to those.

Yes Placerville CA,
I know were all those places are. Last place I lived in CA was Sacramento (Roseville to be exact).

Too bad your not around anymore, would have loved to check out your system. How long ago did you move?

Since the MH are out what is making everything pop?

The URI vho's make everything pop. I hope the new T5's I am getting will have the same effect.

I moved about 3 years ago

Man Aaron, you get all the cool stuff I want.
That profilux is REALLY cool. I like the fact it is so modular.

If you do find a bulb equivalent to the VHO URI Actinic 03, let me know. I used to have VHO as well on my old setup and I now that I have T5 I'm having a hard time finding a bulb that has that purple tinge that makes some corals pop. There is the blue plus but it makes corals pop a little differently and of course the supposed actinic but it doesn't make anything pop really IME.

I really like the Sfiligoi super actinic. They make the colors POP for sure. You are more then welcome to come by and see them.

James Im SOOOO excite to get this controller. I have been waiting since MACNA Houston to get one!

ah roseville. ive done alot of work in roseville. my aunt actually just bought a house in placer co. i lived in sac for a brief stint. right there on howe ave just off of us 50. the last place i lived before i moved to tx was vacaville. it never actually felt like home though. i spent the better part of 2o years in marin.
how you likin' texas then aaron?
yeah ill dig up some old pics of "that disaster" and send em to you. you'll get a kick out of it. it was such an eyesore sitting in my living room!
i cant understand how you guys can remember so much. by so much, i mean how you like a particular light, and are actualy able to remember how it looks.... i cant even remember yesterday! i would probably forget my own name if my wife wasnt always saying it! you can remember seeing a controller at macna? i remember almost nothing i saw at macna. i remember meeting marc, and falling asleep during sombodies presentation. im pretty sure i want to see him, but i was soo tired!

That's why I take pictures. They last longer. :D
