What I'm referring to is the separation of blue and white light, giving a disco effect. It bothers my brain..

I'm going to check when I get home. I can't remember it being noticable but will look for it in particular.

Yes mine are stock optics. If you don't wanna see it, you can put a diffuser. But that would cut down the light too

It'll also depend on the white/ blue ratio you run

I like more blue than white. I currently run Radiums and would like to stay close to that..

I run 100 on blues and 75 white and I can see it only if I look for it. Never when looking at the tank as a whole

Marko: Somebody posted last week that you did a side by side comparison with Radion. Could you post the link?

Thanks
