400 watt Aqualine 10k

[Mr.Man]

Has any one burned the Aqualine-Buschke 400 watt 10k bulb....if so could you give me some feedback on coloration of bulb etc.

 

[Jason Day]

I did not like the color of the bulb. It looked a little yellow to me. Switched to the 20k radium bulb and I am much happier. The corals are coloring up bettor also.

Jason, I've been using the Radium bulb with a PFO HQI ballast, which is what Aqualine recommends also. Are you using a std. ballast? Thanks for the reply.
