I was running one and imo it was a little to blue for me compared to my 10k bulbs.

I was thinking about getting the same bulbs. Ill tag along for everyones input. By the way there on sale at oceansaquariums.com for 41.99 thats the cheapest I found them.

I had great success with these bulbs in the past with my old 75gal setup.If you click my red house you can see my old page that I had setup for our 75gal.I do believe the actinics were on when I took the pics though.The coloring is great IMO,but I favor the bluer bulbs.

I got great coloring from my corals.but growth of my sps wasnt that great.The tank was mostly lps and softies though,and those grew like weeds.

Btw I had 3 250watt sunburts and 4 96watt pcs when I took those pics.

thank you for the posts. alpine, nice tank pics. I dug an old 12k bulb out of a closet that i had from a few years ago, and only used for a few months at the time. I put it in the middle fixture on my 180, and wasnt sure i wanted to go with them. I think im going to head for the 10k route. anyone have any suggestion of the brightest/cleanest look?
