could be age of bulb.

could be the ballast

or could be your eyes tuned to 20kk lights so 10kk appears yellow.

Need lights to bring out colors? Might as well run pure actinic.

Can't be age of bulb

Could be ballast

Could be due to eye problem (I'm a little colour blind) <_<

Yeah I wish I could run actinic only :lol::lol:

Oh well, guess I'll go get another 2 more T5s :P

Haiz.... algal bloom did not subside after a month now :angry::angry:

Was thinking whether dwarf hermits can help me clean things up ;)

I have also changed my photoperiod:

9am to 3pm----T5s on

3pm to 9pm----MHs on

9pm MHs off

10pm T5s off

This way, I reduced the MH running time to 6hrs and extended the T5 running time to 13hrs ;)

Another thing I am considering is changing from the current BLV 10ks to a more bluer bulb.

Considering the BLV 14k or Phoenix 14k or the most, BLV 20k

Need some suggestions from you guys here on the choices :thanks:

Just change 2 of my bulbs to BLV 14k. Or rather change for a week already.

Very good stuff. Nice crisp white hue. Gotta wait a few more weeks to see if it has any adverse effect on coral but at the onset look really good. Running with magnetic ballast. My centre bulb still running BLV 10k on an eballast......it runs whiter than the 10k previously on my magnetic ballast.

Should give the BLV 14k a try.

Not True. the BLV 14kk has equivalent PAR I think.

The 14k is whiter as appears to the eyes which means it either has reduced red to orange in the spectrum or increased green to blue in the spectrum.

In the first case means reduced PAR while in the latter means similar PAR. Or they could have produced a bulb with overall higher PAR than the 10kk too. Nobody knows until some reefers have test it and now we wait for Scarab's feedback.

Scarab, you running the DE version right?

No change on the red algae from the switch from 10 to 14K.

The 14K BLV is really white and bright, certainly as bright as the 10K, but whiter. Still early days, but i have the same corals under both the Phoenix and BLV(same colony), at the mpment the Phoenix has the edge on colour.
