Cool

I'm running a 400 watt 10k mogul lamp(XM) and a 175 watt 20k mogul lamp(XM), have noticed some yellow now that you mentioned it. Also noticed that the coral is not as colorful. it's basic colors like brown, green, and some yellow and that's it. Do other more expensive lamps produce better colors?

I also use to run a single 400W SE XM 10K with T5 supplement. As stated it is pretty white to start with but over time (IME a couple months) it gets pretty yellow.

I'm into the bluer look now and I keep most of the same corals without a problem. I'd be curious to see a par comparison between bulbs at certain water depths since blue light doesn't get filtered out by water as much.
