    I love it got ;D my new light in the mail, it is the sunpod 150w mh light with a 15000k bulb. I swear the coraline just got more purple and the lights only been on for a few min. but the horrible part follows, the stupid bak pak is throwing out a million micro bubbles and you can really see them now :angry: I wish I could buy a urchin, but i am so broke that I can't even pay for food, I am regretting spending 9$ at burger king :-[

    :) Enjoy your lights.

    BTW, the coralline didn't get more purple, it appears more purple because of the spectrum/color temp. of the 15K bulb. Your corals should look a bit different too. Hammers, some mushrooms, frogspawn, and others will look more phosphorescent in the bluer light.

    nice pick for the light, it sucks being poor and in this hobby, I can't afford anything either, but I still find a way to bring things home from the lfs
