    Hey guys,
    I got four of these bulbs for my tank to supplement my t5 unit. I just set them up today. I love the look, they really changed the appearance of the tank. The ripple effect is pretty cool too. Also wanted to say that the costumer service was great. I sent Mike a lot of emails filled with questions and he was very helpful. Bulbs arrived in a couple days, well packaged and in good working order.

    I got some pics and videos but some of the corals are kind of closed up because they are still getting used to the light. Tell me what you think.

    Videos coming soon

    These style lamps add a great intensity to the tank

    Thanks. I have a 4 bulb unit.

    Thank you.

    Yes they do. I am really happy i decided to get them. The tank just looks so much better with them. I'm hoping that I can support a clam on the sand bed now.

    k+ to everyone.
