ah well, time for VHO actinics
when I was running the 250 radium in my tank on HQI I had to shut off the VHO it was so blue.. and I have a 400 radium running on a normal ballast in my garage right now and it isn't 1/2 as blue as the 250 one was.. but I imagin as for eveything else each bulb will vary a bit.
