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.)

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

Looks nice

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
