    I will try and get some good ones today. When I first installed them they were a nice blue shade. I unplugged the actinics and noticed no difference. On my reeflux I could definitely tell the difference. The blue actually intensified a little more the next day. So far no i'll effects on the sps. My actinics are only on for 3 hrs now. 1.5hrs before the halides come on and 1.5 before they come off.

    Many of the coral propogators use this bulb. Fragfarmer does, and he says he gets great growth AND color from them. He says it's "everyone's" favorite in the business - he likes them better than Radiums.
