I bought a new bulb

And Ms. "I hate yellow" likes it !!

As you know, I'm limited on bulb selection because I have CHEAP ballasts....

Anyway, if this one burns in as good as it looks right now, I'm in for the two more. Then I think I'll pull out the 4 x 55w pc's, run the MH parallel and shoot in some actinic for polish.

The spectral analysis is interesting in comparison to the Iwasaki, which didn't work at all for me.......not that I understand it, but comments please !

Looks good to me.
Where did you get them from and what kinda color do they put out(visually)?

Bumper Crop - it is burning very much bright white. Maybe a tinge of yellow, but you know me.

I've been trying to get a decent pic, but it keeps showing up the green algae on my back glass...doh...I'll work on that tomorrow

Cool! How much were they and what wattage did you pick up?

$100 for the 250W. He was very nice to let me try a couple bulbs and take them back with no restocking charge. This one I think is a keeper, but...now I need to reach the back of the tank....
