Some of you wanted to see pictures of the new bulbs. Well here they are! :biggrin: The pictures are not quite fair with regards to the real color of the actual tank. The new bulb pictures are not quite the right color but it is a comparison non the less of how the camera perceives the three different shots.
Anyway 1st picture is of the way my tank was. It was 2 x 400w radiums (13 months old) and 2 x 250w Sun Aquatics 10K bulbs(8 months old).

2nd picture is of the new 14K Sun Aquatics bulb. So in this picture there is 2 x 400W Sun Aquatics 14K bulbs (New) and 2 x 250W Sun Aquatics 10K bulbs(8 months old).

3rd picture is of the new 20K Sun Aquatics bulb. So in this picture there is 2 x 400W Sun Aquatics 20K bulbs(new) and 2 x 250W Sun Aquatics 10K bulbs (8 months old).

Here are some pics of just the new Sun Aquatic bulbs.
1st one is of the 2 x 400W 20K bulbs by themselves.

I am sticking with the 14K bulbs because in real life (not camera pics) they have a different hint of blue to them which is maybe what I'm looking for. They were very similar in their look when combined with the 10K bulbs though.
Enjoy! :biggrin:
