![]() There was a couple of articles on this topic by Richard Harker in Advanced Aquarist (maybe the ones you were refering to Steve).

![]() Would someone be so kind as to post a picture of this elusive nipple please
![]() ![]() As to yellow coloration, and nipples. My bulb is in a pendant, so it is vertical, and if what I think is the nipple, it would be sideways. My bulb is on a new M57 ballast, and burned pee yellow for a couple of days. Today it has burned with the correct color all day. ![]() Here's a picture of my newly setup 20H nano. under the new 175W bulb. ![]() Here's the same tank nine hours later. That is how the camera thinks it looks. It does not look that bad to me. ![]() And here's the tank under 2X65W PC'c (one 10000K, the other actinic) ![]() Not hard to guess which way I will be going until I get this bulb orientation cured. ![]()

![]() Bob, it is the pinched off part when they form the inner bulb as you thought previosly. the speculation was that the thicker part of the glass made the light less blue but further tests showed it didn't matter.
for what its worth a fan blowing on the bulb does affect the output color but I doubt most people would notice it. Steve

Bob, do you mean that your bulb are hanging up and down so that the screw part is up? if so you should try them horazontaly as these bulbs are not made for verticle use and this could be the source of your yellow on the AB's. Steve
