Jason thank you for the e-mail and checked with Golds and ordered SE 400's 14000, can't wait to try. I'll keep posted.

One of my new 14000K Aquaconnect bulbs is really yellow, even after 3 days of burn in I don't mean like a 6500K yellow, but real yellow, even my rock looks yellow! Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? Will it eventually even out to look like the other bulbs?

Going to pick up mine this week, so couldn't say for sure. I heard and read that they are on the blue side until after a few days of burning in. You have more than one ? Strange that they aren't the same color. I would check with where you bought it and see what they have to say.

I have 3 bulbs. 1 has been running for 2 months- looks gorgeous, 1 new one that is slightly blue- seems about right, and the 1 new one that is hideous yellow.

Well I picked up my Aquaconnects and must say I'm happy with them so far. One day and some tank residents also look like they are happier. Can't wait to see a little down the road. Wish I had a decend camera
