Nuclear Reefs (Nathan),
there's a reason for the red colored bulbs as stated before. Its for shallow water corals. Very shallow. Its suppose color up histrix, poci or any other pink/ red colored coral even more. The red spectrum terminates very fast in deeper waters.
Also, lighting has a lot to do with coral coloring. If you give them the light spectrum they originated from, you are going to get the fullest out of them. Thats one thing the Japanese have mastered as you can tell from this post and previous ones. They dotn spotlight corals just so it would look different on one end of the tank.

Look at where they orginated from. Japan, Australia, etc. Its very unlikely that we get animals shipped from those areas. The most common areas are Fiji, Bali, etc.

I would love to get my hands on either one.

Nice to see someone is working towards this. I will be waiting until they get higher color temps.
EDIT: just saw they had a 20k. how about 50 or red spectrum?

Is electricity cheaper in Japan? Some of those tanks are running a LOT of MH's. I can't imagine what their electric bills are. Not to mention the heat generated by all of those bulbs. Maybe that is one of the reasons none of them have canopies... they need the open air flow to keep the area above the tank cool.
