kaleidoscope

heres the same tank with 3 different mh bulbs. all have 4-65w pc actinic 50/50. all mh 250w se
left) aqualine 10k
middle) sps blue 10k
right) sps blue 14k

 

10, 14, & 20k left to right???

 

I run the 14k SPS in my tank and love them.

 

I currently have a 20k, which looks just like the last one, but I like the middle one. My next bulbs will just little the middle.

 

Middle!

I recently discovered that two (250w MH 10000k) bulbs from two different manufacturers will give a different light in each case. And in some cases even from the same manufacturer. Strange, no??

Aren't watts supposed to be watts and k's supposed to be k's?

 

hey reef guru stop showing off ya tank,

Your making people jelous!!!!!haha
left and middle right just too blue I run a 20k looks simelar to the left

 

huh?

 

Tangster hooked me up with a 14K 250w SPS bulb lately.

​

Does not make tank nearly as "deep blue" as your pic shows.

Looks more like above to naked eye.

Your pic (right) looks more to me like what a 20k would appear. :-/

What a difference a couple of simple dots (.) can make:

If wastemanagement will permit me, I think it should read like this:

"left and middle. right just too blue. I run a 20k. looks similar to the left."
