i wanted to install these after reading its good for the fish and corals and what not, to have the dawn/dusk effect.
here are a couple of pictures, unfortunatly i ended up breaking one of the bulbs. if any of you end up doing the install use caution when you have to remove the bulbs from the balast during the install. pretty tight fit and have to work em apart, at least i had to with mine.
thank goodness i didnt break my hqi light since the actinics bulb broke when it hit it after slipping out of my hand.

just placed my order for a new bulb
. providing they still have them in stock i should get it by later tonight or saturday, depending on when they process it. guess i should get some sleep

peace

the install itself only took an hour about. i had a broken bulb to clean up though had to make sure that all the debris was cleaned up so it wouldnt go into tank or baby wouldnt step on it lol. plus i watched the videos a couple times to make sure i had it down. so over all about 2 hours total.
very easy just follow the video step by step and it should be no problem
