I agree with you, I have a bad AquaConnect bulb too, its also 14K. The colour is fine, but the growth I used to get under it before the crash was non-existent.

Mike, the reason is J&L shipped me the wrong bulbs. I ordered 250s, but got 400s. I didn't even realize it until I went to fire them up, and then couldn't get replacements fast enough. I ended up having to buy new 400w ballasts instead.
I tried to go 250, really, I did!!
