    The bulbs look to give a nice crisp white and really give the corals some great looking color with out a ton of blue.

    Man that is enough pickling lime to pickle your whole nieghborhood.

    I have 1 XM 20K 400 watter and am testing it out against my radiums. So far I think it is a bit whiter than the radiums which I am liking right now. Not a bad price for the bulbs either
    Who knew it was so addicting?

    Well, my XM bulbs been on for about three weeks now and I'm beginning to like them.They not really as blue anymore and I just have to install couple of Aquasun VHO bulbs instead of actinincs and I'll be good to go
    here's a pic without actinincs and one with them on.

    try the atinic whites..... im changing out the aqua suns since they are really pink. and as the bulbs whiten up it gets even more pink with the halides on. i think the atinic whites are the way to go..

    OMG. Your tank is so beautiful now. I am glad you stayed in the hobby long enough to let those acros grow.

    Good job.
