Hey Scott,
Try the phoenix 14k bulb and you won't be disappointed.
By the way, i've got the same lighting as yours and when i changed by
bulb (megachrome) to phoenix 14k, the tank looks way better (more blue).

Thanks Fred.

I have heard nothing but good things about the Phoenix 14k's as well, so perhaps this is the route to go! I don't find the megachrome bulbs to be that great at all.. compared to others I've used anyways.

I'll look into the Phoenix. Thanks again.

Well Gary,

You called it.. I notice a slight sagging in the PVC fixture. Given the pendant is heavier and has more heat coming off of it..Simple solution though... I am simply just going to add a piece of wood through the PVC bar. Problem solved

Glad to hear you caught it before the light ended up in the drink.

ahaha , no doubt. Well, I am always paying attention to those things, but yeah.. had I not then it could have gotten ugly. Thankfully it's an easy fix as well.
