Here's mine that is lit by sakis plus the sun
Believe it or not the sun is more yellow  than the sakis.

Here's some older pictures, I've been using carbon for a couple of hours once a week now and the color is much whiter. I also am using a diffuser "eggcrate" directly under the bulb since some (alot) of corals just can't take the 400 watts of light at 10" inches. Strange the bulb only puts out 20,000 lumens. But at the center it may be exceeding 100,000 noon time on the reef. The diffuser helps spread light around also, just started this, will see what happens.

Well my bulbs are "hamiltons 6500K 250W MH" but they look just like the Iwasakis... Not sure if this really counts but...  I've only had the MH lights on the tanlk for about a week now... |

And one of my favorite corals under the MH's... The corals really open up while the MH lights are on... Glad I finally put them in the canopy...  |

Nice tanks everyone.
Rick,
I noticed that the pic you posted in this thread looks a bit more blue than the pic posted under your tank specs link. Have you added more actinics? or are you still running the 2) 110watt bulbs?
FWIW I like the the color of your tank better in the tank specs link. Although both pics are pretty amazing.

The actinics were pretty old when I took the pic in my tank specs. They are only a couple months old in the pic in this thread.

Cali Kid-having seen Rick's tank in person on several occasions i think it may be an optical illusion caused by the huge yellow leather. i think that large bright coral shifts the light to our eyes to the whiter side, or at least to our brains. not that it has been removed we are seeing the more blues, and purples of the algae and corals.
very impressive tank in person.
