How far from the MHs are they and are they subject to direct MH light? No diffusing through glass or what not?

right under a 250w mh, 10-12" below. bulbs a 20k tho, open top.there starting to really get moving now. for awhile they were just getting wider and wider, now they are pinching together in the middle forming new heads every month!!

Hmmmm that makes me wonder, cause mine are 10K. Odd.... Now Im more confused because mine was in a very similar spot.

That makes me wonder, can my coralife aqua light pro support 20K bulbs? Or would I need new ballasts or something?

Yes they can.
