    Okay, I am super excited because I've heard great things about the Fiji Purple light, and I got one of those!! ;D This was a fun surprise, not knowing what was coming. It was like Christmas!

    So I got:
    5 54W Blue Plus T5
    1 12000K Aquablue Special T5
    1 54W Fiji Purple T5
    1 54W 6500K Daylight T5


    I hope those are good! I'm sure they are. I'm excited!! Can't wait to put the thing together and turn it on! :)

    Nice selection, although I'm surprised they would send a 6500k bulb. I would think a 10k aquasun or other similar spectrum bulb. 6500k is an algae grower IMO, I use a 6500k CF bulb on my sump for my chaeto. Maybe there is something with the other bulb combinations that will make it look good. Lots of blues, so that will probably counter the yellow of the 6500k.

    Congrats on the new light, let's see pictures

    Well, I could always buy a 10k if the 6500 seems to be growing lots of algae. The 6500k was only 15 bucks. I am really excited about all the blue! I told them I like the bluer look as opposed to the bright white.

    I'm going to put it together pretty soon. I'm eating lunch now.

    Pictures will come!!
