I received a blue daylight in a trade and bought a blue pop from JL...

I want to add 2 more blue pop and see how things look.

If your Kessil is white-ish, the Blue Pops are probably the way to go.


I'm gonna pick a couple up this weekend, if I don't like them, I will be happy to sell them to you for a discount.

Im running my Kessils more on the blue side.

I was thinking 2 x Marine pink and 2 x blue daylight since they would only be running for 4-6 hours during the day

I will say that it seems like the T5's drown out the euroquatics....so you may get better supplementation from T5's if you aren't worried about heat or power savings...



Would def be interested in your thoughts if you do get them.

As above...
Running 1 blue pop and 1 blue daylight.

Finally finished transferring 2 RSM130 into 1 RSM250 but I managed to mount my aquaray (5 x 3w Cree royals blues) and am now very, very happy with the color.

So i think I'm just gonna save the dough and run 4 t5's, 2 e5's and my aquaray.

If I find my heat is way up, I may get into some more e5's.
