Finally got the bulbs! 20000k xm's I called the company I ordered from and they said the blue will become more white once they break in. I was expecting blue but I got really really blue. Will they get brighter? Dont get me wrong the corals really pop at ya now It just seems I dont know dim?

20K bulbs are blue. they are to blue for my tastes. they will whiten a bit, but not much.

We'll see how it goes. I don't have any acentics on the tank which is why I went so high. I must say even the dark blue is better than the yellow the old ones had turned. I'll post more pics once the lights break in.

nice color, i dont think your gonna need actinics... are they t5?

Yes t5's. The plan is to go with 10000k xm and the ho t5's. I need to replace the ballast and redesign my canopy. For now I will just use the 20000k until I get the ballast and the canopy set up the way I want. I will just wait it out and research the best way of doing this. I also want to switch out my mh pulse start ballast for some that are electronic. Alot to do to get the lighting the way I want but the bulbs were needed to be replaced when I got the tank used and just havn't had the time or money to do it. I am gonna start looking around at electonic balast and want to add some additional fans.
