Changing bulbs

right now i am currently using 2x250watts on my 22g tank with using one blv bulb and another hamilton bulb.

I was considering switching over to the Giesemann MEGACHROME Coral bulbs. anyone had any problems with them before? and do u think it will affect my corals in anyways switching the bulbs?

thanks in advance

alex

haha yeah it is a little overkill but u should see the colour up i am getting on some of my pieces!!

i regret not taking any before shots.. i bought this piece which was white with bluish tips and now its yellow with blue tips in just 2 weeks!

but i still need to know if my corals will be affected by the switching of the bulbs?

I don't know about the bulbs you have now, but those G-man bulbs are very high PAR. Be careful acclimating to them. I've actually been considering those bulbs (for my 36" deep tank!) but I'm concerned that they're going to look too much like the AB 10K bulbs I had before, which IMO were too yellowish.
