Anyone have the link for the site that gives side by side comparisons with pictures of a tank using different bulb/ballast combos?

I'm debating on going 400w eballast vs M59 and I'm getting my head spinning on Sanjay's site Sanjay's link (http://www.reeflightinginfo.arvixe.com/selectperformancedata.php) having the data is only half the battle. Having a look-see at how it "should" look will give another 25% and I think the remaining 25% will be cost and suffering until I go through a couple bulbs on my own tank to see what works for me.

By then they will have changed/upgraded bulbs so the process is a never ending journey.

Thanks Dave, that's the link I was looking for. Since these are 250s should I consider it will be relative look to 400s or is it a whole different ball park and different look?

Looks should be similar for a given bulb, although (obviously) the intensity will vary and there may be slight color variations depending on the ballast and/or wattage. I don't know of any site which compares pics for 400 W, so it's the best I can do.

Here you go with ballast/bulb comparisons, but, unfortunately, 250 W.
