Thanks again.

But like Christy says, don't replace the bulbs first, unless you make your own money.

Iwasaki's actually shift more toward the blue spectrum as they get older.
Do you run carbon in your tank? I find once my carbon get's old, I can notice my tank becoming more yellow. Once the carbon is replaced than the water is crystal clear.
