Hi, quite a lot of you have been to my place to look at my reef tank.

As you know, I have successfully mixed Iwasaki 6500k bulbs with Ushio Blue bulbs together (without any banding)... and I must say that I am happy with the results personally.

The sakis' high PAR and brightness really gave a lot of growth to my SPS corals and the ushio blue serves to counter the saki's greenish-yellow colour... blending the overall look into... a pleasant white.

Just like to get some comments if you think that the 65k and blue bulbs combined gives you... a feeling that ... it looks good & natural... (as in full spectrum colours and not slanting into unnatural colours when viewing the reef)?

or.... none of the above. If so, pls give me your 2 cents worth.

I am asking this just to consider whether changing out my 6.5k bulbs to a 10k bulb would make my corals look better... I don't mind sacrificing growth due to the reduced PAR...(what an irony!).... for visually better colours.

The new Coralvue 10k bulbs are catching my eye... hehehe....

I repeat, in simple language. :D

Do you like the colours of my reef under my combined 6500k and Ushio blues? or it can be better?

Hi, Think it's blend quite well... If I were u , I won't change to 10K cos find it's still abit yellowish and won;t make your SPS growth fater.. Rather stick to the old plan as long it's now working well.. just my 2 cents

well...

I personally think its GREAT nice combination! but then! there is always room for improvement! dont give up experiencing better and nicer stuffs and different combinations! B)

just my honesty

Your combo of 6500k and 20000k is most preferred based on michael paletta's book. In fact quite a few books used the same photos by paletta in their books. Your current lighting combo is closest to the natural light.

I like your pictures in reefcentral as they are taken with reflection creating a "double impact", looks really nice.
