I have not seen Aqualine in person, so I cannot compare, but I am VERY picky and have gone through many bulbs in my tank days and MUST say I have FINALLY found my Constant!!!!!
I have had or seen these bulbs in person and nothing, I MEAN NOTHING COMPARES to these IWASAKI 15K!!! Radium 20k, XM 20k, Sunburst 12k, Hamilton 14k, Ushio 14k, Pheonix 14k DE, Venture 5.5k eew, and even a couple of T-5 setups.
They dont make this bulb in a DE...sorry!
I am not having much luck uploading these pictures, so if you would like me to send one to your email, then give me a reply at
cashman95@bellsouth.net or PM me with an email I can send them to, and I will asap. Unfortunatly pics dont do them justice, but Maybe it will give some idea of how awesome thay are!
If you are in the Greenville S.C. area in the future, feel free to let me know and you can stop on by and check them out in person. Who knows I might have big enough SPS pieces to frag out!!!!
