Nice !!

OK I'm sold I'm going to order a set, my e-bay bulbs I just put in look like hell. (for $15.00 each I had to try them.):biggrin:

I was never a fan of those megachrome bulbs...

Looks nice

I know i'm in the minority but I have never been a fan of bluer lights...I like the look of the old lights better :lol: but nice looking tank :mrgreen:

Looks great. When and where did you get that blue lined rabbit fish? Looks familiar.

I'm with you Marie on not really caring for the blue look however I also recently changed my Geisemann bulbs (250Wde) for the aquaconnect bulbs. I think I posted a thread in the product review forum. I did not find them to be nearly as blue as what they appear in the pictures. For whatever reason when you take a picture it seems to pick up more of the blue than what it appears to be to the nekid eye.
I am also very pleased with these bulbs. I have had mine in for about 3 weeks now and it is still a nice crisp white with just a small hint of blue that really makes the coral colors pop.

The Aquaconnect bulbs are really blue when you first put them in, but after 4 or 5 weeks they settle down to a pretty nice color. Not sure if they're still not a little bit too blue for my taste though. I'd like to show off my pinks a little bit more. Maybe I'll try supplementing with daylight T5s :)
