thank you i cant imagine your the only one,i have read these bulbs are popular.
i see u have sps at the bottom? what size tank is it?
 
I have some T5 and LED supplementation as well. SPS on the sandbed for several months, 250W Phoenix 14K about 5" above the tank

I have a video that I took prior to adding most of the SPS, not exactly what you asked for, but it shows the color of the tank, and how various corals show up

kien - nice pic

My picture taking skill are less than desired. Here are a few:

Halides (driven by Lumatek multi-wattage HQI ballast); 2- 250W - 14K Phoenix DE bulbs.
Also have 270W DIY LEDs from Rapid LED, CREEโ€™s (Royal Blue XTEs, UV, XP-E Blue, and Natural White XPGs)

that is beautiful,what size tank is it? how many halides do you have?

Thanks! It's a 150g tank (72"x24"x20"). I'm using a 72" Sunlight Supply Maristar fixture which has 3x 250 watt halides with 4x 39watt T5s. Been runing it for 3 years now. Seems kinda old school now with all the LEDs out LOL.

The blue coral on the left of my group is a ORA Turquoise Stag that has light blue growth tips....I have seen great growth and color in this coral over the last few months, and got rid of all the red brush algae that was on its base

Heres a pic when I got it 10/9, and another pic from today. Also attached is a Encrusting Rainbow Montipora, but the pics are with T5 and LED only which makes it pop better (No halides)
