do you know if the par is good on that bulb?
The color is fairly accurate. I can't tell you what the par is exactly but I did research before buying them and they were comparable to the other brands.

Just don't buy them online, since they aren't the most hardy critters as I'm sure you know. I searched for about 3 months from petshop to petshop before I found this guy. Healthy specimen. Make sure you see him eat at the LFS. I feed him a dried seaweed strip every day, and he picks at the mysis I feed every other day. Unfortunately as far as the powder brown is concerned, they aren't supposed to be kept with Tangs of the same body shape, so I would say either go with one or the other.

a powder blue and brown are probably one of the worse combo's you could try to attempt, just too simular in look and too different in temperament. perhaps if added at the same time and same size. bigger tank than 125g would probably help.

i like the blue but i dont want it to be like actinic blue...and i am thinking that if they are blue like yours with just 1 then 2 maybe a little extra blue...
