new bulbs

stock bulbs
it really isnt as blue as it looks, however it is more blue then the stock bulbs. But then you can easily remove one of the blue ones for something purple or red or white to suite your taste. My toadstools are massive now compared to the stock bulbs and so are the zoas and frogspawn.
fish dont care
