Hmm, well the Geismann came with the aqualight pro.. so no complaints on my end. I'm intrigued by the EVC now... could you PM me the price ?? Also, do they sell them in 150w?

I'm a 10K man myself... also use ushios they are super white (only look yellowish for 1 minute after they turn on) I suppliment with 260W of actinic 130W of new bulbs and 130W of 1 year old bulbs that way I get a dawn and dusk effect ie old bulbs on 1st then new bulbs an hour later then MH. plus I only have to replace 1 set oh CF's/year
I love the white and the growth

I just switched to 14.5k Giesemanns from 10k Ushios, I'm very happy.
Much whiter than Ushios.
I'm still using VHO actinics for the extra color.

If you want intensity and blue color you have to go with 400W bulbs in my opinion. I'm running four 250W Geismann 20000K DE bulbs on a six foot tank and although I love the color, I miss the shimmer of the 10000K Geismanns. I was warned by my LFS too. Not that I don't like the color of the tank right now but I think 14500K bulbs would have been better. When my lights run out next year I think I'll upgrade to 400W 20000K's. They've got a nice blue color without losing any intensity IMO.
