Thumbs up for venkiw!
I just received my 175W MH (x2) in the mail today from venkiw. They both arrived safely and packed well. I currently have one 175 Ushio on my tank I switched it out for one of the new bulbs and WOW! what a difference. The light appears a lot bluer to my eye and really brings out the colour in my tank (what little there is). I will try and get a comparison shot tonight with the Ushio once I get my other ballast hooked up.

here are the comparison pictures

I used paypal last saturday and recieved the bulbs thursday. I found he was very quick with his replys for me. Mabey he is away or something.

He also has his own forum (SunAquatics) on that Eastern Canadian reefing board people have been mentioning recently. Might get better luck there? :confused:
|
I just bought one of these bulbs and I am finding it very yellow. Does the bulb get whiter in time?
|
I spoke to someone last week that wasn't impressed with their bulb either. He said that it was even more yellow than his iwasaki bulb and was quite disappointed.
Christy :) |
I have two 400W 10,000k bulbs. They fired up pretty yellow for the first 30 mins... after that, they are pretty white. Whiter then my ushio's.
Altho, I havent had many bulbs before (only my third set). |
I guess the color varies from bulb to bulb? :confused: I will wait till the break in period is over then evalute. Right now my 175 10K bulb is more yellow than an Iwasaki.

I am disapointed so far with the 10K bulbs, they cast a green hue on my sand and are not near as intense as Ushio or AB's I have used, of course this is by visual but next week I will be doing my PAR readings to either confirm or not my visual beliefs.
I will be doing a review of all 3 bulbs (10K, 14k, and 20k) with pictures, PAR readings, and comparasons. Steve |
