what a difference in color I was running 4x110w 10k and 96w dual actinic, no0w I'm running 2x110w 10k and 2x110w pure 03 actinic and 96w dual actinic. WOW I love the way my tank looks now. the actinic realluy makes all my colors POP, the camera doesnt really show the change as true because of the automatic light filter I havent figured out how to shut off but you can still see the change. first pic is pure 10k second is with the new light bulbs.

its amazing what a 50% spectrum shift will do to a tanks appearance.
it looks even more intense to the eye.

I like the heavy actinic look too. I run 3 110 actinics with one 10K for my morning and evening times. I am glad you like the new look, it can be a bummer if you don't and just wasted money.
Nice pics by the way.

What a difference, whats really interesting is to how your corals react to different lighting. tank looks great, loving the detail on the anemone...

Great tank, the new lights really makes the colors "pop" (so cliche lol)
I love that rock anemone, I dont see many down here at all, and certainly none with the colors that Ive seen recently in some tanks on here.
