Ushio 20,000+K vs. Stock MH Bulb

[Puff]

i got my new halide bulb the other day. the stock bulb that came in the sunpod wasnt doing it for me, and was washing out a lot of the colours. the new one looks a lot better, and the corals are much more vibrant. i cant wait to see how the corals respond growth-wise.

the easiest way to tell the difference is to check out the green rhodactis on the left side of the tank. looks browny green in the before pic, and a lot greener in the after pic.

i wanted a Phoenix 14k, but couldnt get one, so i went with the ushio.
