Hey Bob, how things are going. I am running a 14k as well not sure what brand but I also have 2 new bulbs I might replace with, the ones i am using now are over a year old now and I hear that we suppose to replace bulbs once a year? I also have a 30G sump with ceramic pieces, Aqua C remora skimmer, live rocks and live sand as a last filtration. Tomorrow is my last night shift, I was planning to Pm you so we can get together this weekend or early next week if thats ok with you.
Abe

From the discription in your signature, your light sounds like an Odessya fixture or a Coralife Fixture.
The First of the two is a very budget fixture that comes with a few weak points that often result in a yellowish light. With a little elbow grease and a few dollars, this fixture can be made into quite a good one. There are a lot of threads about their stuff but take it with grain of salt. If it's a Coralife, then I'm guessing that the bulbs may just need replacing.

I use 14K pheonix bulbs, they are very nice and blue... also running 50/50 actinics with it.
If your bulbs are over a year old, I would definately replace... when I did mine, I couldn't believe how yellow my old bulbs where until the new ones were put in.

I have a aquamedic aquaspacelight fixture 2x250 MH + 2 pc.
The previous owner told me that I only need to change the bulb when it starts flickering. true

And if you use low cost bulbs, more than once a year!
I also don't find PC's lasting a year no matter which ones I buy...they really only go 8 months with any strength.
