Default got my new bulbs!

Got my new bulbs today and couldn't wait to get home and see how they looked. I had originally ordered 20k 250W ushio HQI bulbs from JL, but one ended up being back ordered so I went with geissman megachrome blue 20k 250W instead. JL is awesome and gave me 10% off on the bulbs because they didn't have the others I had originally wanted, so I basically got them for the same price as the ushio's. Got them put in and I love the look! Its a really nice white blue, not too blue at all. Now I'll just have to wait and see how the corals do.

I was running 15k bulbs previously and wanted something a little bit bluer, so as long as it doesn't get any whiter/yellower than that I'm happy.
