They are 100% better then the 10k bulbs by far! But they aren't bright enough for me, and I have 4x96watt pc and it's a little too blue for me. But I would like to try 12k, I know they make them but idk if they would fit my fixture or not? I'm not changing them because I paid $90 for 3 bulbs(which was a great deal) to me thats alot and I want to get my money's worth lol. Don't get me wrong I get AMAZING polyps extension on alot of my stuff!! And I love how it enhances the color on...EVERYTHING lol. But I would like it to be a little bit brighter, and am a little bit worried about coral growth. It's too soon to tell but still worried for the future. However, I still get the same amount of algae, my Phosphate tests 0 and only have the mh on for 5-6 hours.

!!!!! Perfecto!!! The only reason I cannot complain is because the overflows are in the corners and out of the way. All glass has 2 center braces on the 125's but the overflows are on the back part of the glass. Now, w/ the new mh bulbs, the shadow isn't as bad but you can still see it. That's where I put the mushrooms and other less light demanding corals!! I honestly don't know why they would make tanks with one center brace because of the mh fixtures!!! Alright I hope I answered your questions without ranting too much!! lol
