    I found it to be rather white compared to a blue plus. Maybe they have changed the formula?

    Last I knew it was the Aquablue Special. I don't think they ever had a 6K though. Geisemann has 6K and 11K bulbs still I believe.

    I always remember the Aquablue Special being 12k. Weird.

    Ok heres two snaps this morning first is when the two Blue Plus and True Actinic are on before the 3 Coral +'s come on which is in the second picture.
    Its not bad during the day but a little whiter would be nice.
