    Looking at that spectrograph makes me want to ask my LFS the age of the two bulbs they showed me when comparing the KZ and ATI purple bulbs.. I should have seen that big of a difference.

    No worries, but yea I figured I should probably take it easy with the new bulbs regardless.

    Lol I wish the Purple Plus was the same- I cringed when I saw the cost of the KZ and realized that I was paying almost double the price of the ATI. I have to say I have seen a ton of tanks with the 2 Aquablue, 1 blue+, 1 fiji purple and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the look of them!

    Yea you would think. Did they show you it over a tank and did they have any corals or fish that had strong red, blue, or purple coloring?

    Yea I found one for $125 local- I meant to shoot you a note. I'm sure you won't have any problems selling yours. You had a great price, timing just wasn't optimal.
