    Very nice, my tank doesn't look that blue in person, it actually has a slight red tint. The amount of blue it shows depends on when the camera is focusing.

    Time for new bulbs. 8 bulb currently 3 aqua blue specials, 3 blue plus and two purple plus. It seems little to blue for me. Thinking of 2 blue specials, 2 blue plus, 2 coral plus, 2 purple plus. What do you think??

    It will look quite red. I would replace the Purple Plus with the Coral Plus.

    looks great, I am going to be buying new bulbs in the next week or two, I am going to look into these, but what if I ran 3 of those and 1 midday type bulb, would it look a more white? It looks blue in the picture, I know, mine does the same thing in pictures, yet to the eye its more natural, is that how your tank looks?

    My tank has a slightly red to purple look in person. Your tank would look whiter with a midday bulb in definitely. The tank does not have a harsh bright look to it. It is very easy on the eyes.

    What size bulbs are you using, and do you feel as it is enough light? Looks like you are growing some sps also?
