Cmon guys. You would think its a sin to try, let alone want a decent light at a decent price, esp for us.
Have most of us not tried them all. My 400 65K is yellow, not white, no matter how many times people tell me its white. My 250,s were a very nice crisp white & I wish I had not got rid of them, but thats not the case. So I am just talking 400,s here.
10K, very nice, but $200 a bulb,cmon. :eek: At $130/bulb, its worth a chance to test these. Like we have not wasted money on our tanks before. :D Heck they can sit on the shelf with the others I have tried, if they turn out to be crap.
Sure my 400 watt 55K, thats currently running is white & cheap @ $80, but its not what I, nor my corals are looking for. I have posted many times how good the corals look and grow with a 400 watt 12K plus 65K n/o supplementation. Thats the look I want without all the hassle.
I thought of 20K plus HQI or electronic ballasts, but I am tired of changing and giving away ballasts, etc. I was going to try them on my PFO ballast until the new bulbs came out, so I figured why not.
