Ah ok, cool..It looks very crisp.

LOL..............That is the way I describe the look vs. the 14K's I had before. The overall look is not as blue, but the blue in the corals seem to "pop" a lot more now and growth is very cool also.

You probably got some bad bulbs. I see just a little bit of blue in mine, but certainly no yellow. Did you return them?

Nice shots, the corals look very healthy.

I just started using the reeflux 12k's. I like them, nice blue tint, but they are bright.

I just pulled my new camera from the box and it will take me a while to figure this thing out, but stand by for blue digi pics.

I will Jerry as soon as I figure out this camera :P It may take a few months for me to figure it out though.

Did I read the directions right when it says you can not use the LCD monitor as a picture viewer to take pictures? Brian help me out here man.

I really like the 12 k's so far. I have noticed that my corals are starting to color up, mostly the blues and greens. I was using my previous bulb for too long and I'm sure the par was really down.

Reef69

Yeah, thats why I want the 12K's..I rather have good color vs fast grow..im in no rush to frag anything, so..i like color better.

Diego-

For actinic which bulbs are you using?

Reef69
Fri, 17th Feb 2006, 12:44 PM
Super actinic VHO's..im not really sure on the wattage..70 I think, Ill have to check..

fishypets
Fri, 17th Feb 2006, 01:01 PM
The reason I asked is the color looks like my T5 actinic

Reef69
Fri, 17th Feb 2006, 01:12 PM
I have 2x70w (I think its 70w) Super actinic VHOs and 3x250w 14K's (soon to be Reeflux 12Ks) Coralvue. Cant wait to get the 12Ks. I really think its the color i want in my tank..

You should still get pretty good growth with the 12K. Be sure to post some pics when you get them.
