......I know what you mean though I absolutely hate a yellowish tank....

Doug, the nice thing is: the Hamiltons are only $65 vs. $80 for the Ushio.
The real killer is the 225g lighting: 3x 400W MH @ $124 ea.

Oh, and 8x T5 @ $25 ea. It freakin' kills me when it comes time to replace them. Might have to go shopping for some cheapo E-bay bulbs.

I find the Hamilton 14K's quite nice Mike. Bluish, but not as blue as Phoenix 14K.

Interesting. What are they called Darren?

They are the 14k ones by Aretimis. HobbyLights on ebay sells them and its a Canadian seller too so no customs hassle either.

Sigh!

My CBB has developed a liking for SPS!
The little bugger picked the flesh clean on two small colonies and has started on my large Pocci colony. He doesn't seem interested in the LPS or Zoas so I'm hoping he won't. If so, I guess I'll have to find a good FOWLR for him somewhere. Stupid fish: I've had him going on two years now and he was totally reef safe. Why are the cool fish the most trouble? Why not a Chromis?
