    Looks much better in the second pic, good change.

    Changing the order of the bulbs can change the apparent coloration to our eyes also. Blue bulb in front bluer looking, white bulb in front whiter looking.

    I like the after as well. Looks like you are getting better extension in your corals as well.

    Good change. Colors are popping a little more and corals look a little happier.

    Thanks Steve, and everyone else. Having mostly soft (with the exception of 2 LPS) is can be a challenge to get every coral "happy".

    I love soft coral tanks. Looks great. The new bulb made a huge difference. I am making a mental note on that bulb.
