Me too!!! just when you start to like it, it is time to change it all around. That's what makes it fun. Never get bored that way!!!

I have that same setup with the overflow in the back, almost middle. Hard to rockscape around it...
so you have 3 MH bulbs in the light?

 

[doodle1800]

why did you buy 14k's with the 10k's only 6 mos old? My light fixture is brand new with 10k's and I'm debating to replace them with 14k's also, only because I'm not sure I like the look of the 10k's.

 

[lubeck]

to each is own on when to replace the bulbs. i don't throw them out i will reuse them in case of an outage/breakage.
it is a fact the corals will grow much quicker with the 10k... and if you have ALOT or run vho or t5 acntics it will look good. i just am trying a new look and so far i like it. it isn;t as bright though. but whiter color.

 

[doodle1800]

I didn't mean to question you on the 6 month thing - in fact mine are only a few days old and considering 14k's. Are you saying the 14k's are whiter? - or dimmer?

 

[rknapp]

I vote for the 10k
