Twas still a nice piece but nowhere near the photo . What zoas did you buy? The razor should make the colors glow like a t5 would . Turn your blues up and whites off and that's probably how you were viewing it . My razor 160w 200000k makes all my zoas glow.

I Google pictures too and look for "hobbyist" photos. Usually get a better idea of what they will look like in your tank

Do you mean chromatic aberration? That's more an after effect of shooting through glass, water, poor quality lenses, etc.
