    I have used Odyssea($10), BlueLife SPS($65), Current($40), Aqualine($110), Reeflux($70) and no-name Ebay brand($5) bulbs and to be very honest, I dont see a difference. I didnt see great coral growth on one particular bulb over the other. Maybe its me, but I really dont see it. I currently have the Reeflux bulbs and they look the same as the Odyssea bulbs.

    I am currently running SPS 14Ks, and Ushio 10Ks. The growth on the Ushios is awesome, but the color is blah. I have only been running the SPS for a week now. Great color. Will see on growth.
    Origionally ran Hamilton 14Ks. Decent color and growth. It is a decent bulb.
