Why shouldn't you touch a MH bulb? :huh:

 

It leaves oils from your skin on the bulb and the oiled spots heat up faster which may cause the bulb to crack over time.

 

your finger grease like catches the light and makes uneven heat which can ruin the bulb...i think.

 

Kinda.

 

Beat me to it. :lol:

It turned on but I didn't get any pictures of it... I got a video! :happy:

 

The tank is really blue. I don't think I'll have that hard of a time selling off my Red Hornets now. The red pops and the blue is really blue. My ORA Green Birdsnest is a nice green and my green danae is really green. The hot colors plus the greens pop and some of the cool colors look washed out.

 

I'm going to edit the video and I'll post a link when it's on YouTube.

Finished editing an hour ago and started to render the video. 45 minutes left until it's done rendering. It will be on YouTube sometime today. I took pictures but TinyPic isn't working. I'll upload them later. :)

so you like the blue?

 

...... Well, I suppose it looks more like the ocean since it's blue. I like the way it colors the corals, so I'm probably going to stick with the Phoenix 14000K. Any more blue and it will look unnatural.

 

Here we go video here we go!

 

How bout the pics, still down?

 

It should be uploaded and processed in 20 minutes. The first 40 seconds or so is the metal halide turning on synced with the song, then the rest shows the corals. Now I know that one of my birdsnests is a BOP variant. :)

I would go for 20K after this, but if I go any more blue it would look unnatural, like I said a few posts ago. To be honest it is a little too blue for me so it will take some getting used to. The only reason I'm going to stick with Phoenix 14000K is because the coral colors. I'm happy with the change. :)

 

Hopefully the corals color up even more. :lol:

 

Will post the video link in 5 minutes.

Huge improvement, I'm not seeing it in person but it seems close enough to 20k to me!

 

Much more blue in person. My camera wouldn't pick up the blue.

 

Are you ready for the video? :P

When you first turn on a MH light, it looks yellow

 

I like the top down of the birdnest! :)

Is the tank as blue as it looks in the vid?

I like that birdsnest too. I think it's just as blue, if not more blue, than the video.

Then and now...

See my red cap in the background? ;)

 

I think I'm doing better with SPS than I thought. Once I get my nutrient export problems fixed, my SPS will be thriving. :)
