We do use the 6500 at out shop and so do many growers I know also use them we went to a full hot house last summer But we still use the bulbs for faster growth and to get the corals attached quicker, Then after a few months under the bulbs and natural sun we bring the sps and may LPs up through 10 and then to 14 to 20 K and lots of super actinic depending on the coral species for coloration . With softs that matters little if any at all. But with all of our corals we photograph them all under 10 K with no actinic .
Its the cost and durability and growth factors of the old 6500k's that sell them. Not many home tanks use them any longer like the old 55K's Poof all gone ..

And if you ever went to a UShio then the Hamilitons would be a memory the ushios offer far better growth then the Hamilitons

thanks for the info tangster. I have some 6500k. I may have to screw them in and check them out. when it's time to buy bulbs I may have to try the ushio also.
