10K SPS 400W by DIANA LYNN MORRIS

Comments: I needed to change my lights r/t a serious cyano outbreak that I just couldn't overcome. The 10K is maybe a little yellower than I expected reading the item description, but at the same time the cyano has stopped growing. Fortunately, I have it flanked by 2x250w 14K bulbs and my tank is 36" deep; which may affect its color. But all is good; I can now put in corals and I will put the bluer/greener specimens closer to the middle of the tank to show off their colors. CYANO DONE !!! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Yellow Tint - Not Good by DEREK DAVIS

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 3/10/2008 from ROGUE RIVER, OR UNITED STATES

Comments: Although the light is bright and the corals seem to like it; it gives off a yellowish tint. I have 3-400watt with 4-75watt power compact actinic but still get a yellowish tint. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Nice sharp light with good color. Found that the SPS corals extended more and are happier than with the previous 15K bulbs. Two of these in my 90 are doing a great job. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Color of this bulb is a little more blue compared to my previous 10K. Like the effect when suplemented with 50/50 PC actinics. After 2 weeks my corals seem to approve of the change... Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

I'd say 11k by BRAD JOHNSON

Comments: Nice blue tint. Not as blue as a 12k Sunburst bulb, but you'll notice it more if running actinics. Start up first time with older style ballasts. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Super Bright! by ANDREW NICOLA

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/30/2007 from IOWA CITY, IA UNITED STATES

Comments: Comparatively to the former Coralife 10,000k MH, this bulb is a lot more yellow in spectrum. Typically that translates to higher LUX rating, which is great, but if you aren't running supplemental actinics to help your colors pop, this isn't the bulb for you. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Color different than other 10K by CRAIG LEVANDUSKI

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/13/2007 from HIGH SPRINGS, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: These bulbs are a little more blueish than other 10K bulbs. I haven't really decided if I like them better than Ushio, but the color is about equal to Ushio AND Super Actinics running in tandem Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
