    lol so i plugged my light in just for fun, i had the bulbs facing up with the light siting on my bed so i could reach the on/off switches i turned them on and lol and it was so bright! i really love these bulbs. lol i had to turn off the light so i could hold it over the tank to take a look at it on the rocks, and as i took the light away from the tank and put it back on my bed to turn it off, i was seriously seeing huge splash of blue light for like 30 seconds after i turned off the light. lol it was funny

    I really hope i can get the light hooked up this weekend :D

    LOL The first time I hooked up my t5, I did the same thing. Just wait, if you ever go to halides.

    Glad you like your bulbs

    Haha I don't think I would ever go mh because of the expense and heat but I could only imagine what they would be like.

    Andvi think I'll like the bulbs even more once their on the tank and growing corals :D

    Which one is evil? Must be the cat. I don't think I have ever met an evil dog.
