New lighting over my reef

[bronco300]

well...i finally got the new lighting done. its two 110w actinic 46" VHO plus 2 10k 175W XM bulbs....what do you guys think? i'll put up more pictures tomorrow, didnt take very good ones...any opinions so far? i'll add some tomorrow of what i think.

 

[bronco300]

here are some better pics from this morning once the bulbs got charged up....what do you all think?? need some opinions here please.

nice set up, looks good.

Ilike it bronco, I think it offsets those 10k bulbs very well with the vho in there... How do you like the xm bulbs so far... isn't that what you went with?

 

[bronco300]

thanks guys!
the XMs are really bright, but they are VERY yellow/white...so without those VHOs it would look terrible,lol, in my opinion...i think it is a bit yellow still, but i may need to just get used to it still.
