the only problem with radiums is they make everything else in the tank blue as well so you have real nice corals that glow when the lights are on but you also have blue sand, blue rock...... I tried them but could only stand looking at the misrepersented colors for about 1 month. I am sure you know already how fun it is to get picturs to look proper when they are on

Actually I was expecting more of a "blue lagoon" kind of look, but am still surprised how crisp these are. And it took me a few blue photos, but if I set the white balance on my camera to Auto it handles it OK.

And those shimmer lines seem to confuse it too... weird. It can't adjust that fast?

Are you running the son agro ballast's Alan?

If so that is probably the reason for the whiter color. I suspect

I'm currently running one off of a M59 ballast, and visually it looks just like Radiums running off the SA ballast. Maybe my eyes are cooked from staring at MH bulbs too long.
