    Looking good. I really like those clowns.


    Is there any chance we can get pics of the 12Ks and the 75/25s by them selves. Curious on the individual coloring.

    I cant. I dont want to take the light down from the ceiling to change them out again. Complete PITA to do it over the tank. But the 12k's are a crisp white with just a hint of blue, and the 75/25 is more pink in color. Not sure where the true blue comes in, as it is more pink

    Very nice. I'm running 14k phoenix bulbs as well and I love them.
