    Sweet! When you get them please post a pic of just the two that include the Fiji. I've always wanted to see what they look like when they're burning. I like my combo but am getting bored with it and thinking of going a little more blue.

    Nice bulbs although it probably won't be very blue with that 6500k in there. Those first three bulbs are PAR powerhouses, careful not to fry the coral! :)
