    hi guys

    just changed my bulbs to BLV 10K instead of the coralvue 14K's

    what do you think?

    im not too sure if i like the new look. i may stick a 14k in the middle of the 10ks to add a bit more blue back to it?

    and yes i do have 2 x 4ft t5 actinics on the tank before you suggest i get some ;)

    Depends on what you want I guess :)
    The whiter lights may put out more par so you might get better coral growth. If you're going for asthetics, the bluer light is more pleasing to my eyes...
