This color is beginning to grow on me! I'm starting
to really like it better than the 9320K bulbs I've been
using. It gives the tank a 'fresher' look. I may
swap out half of the 9320K bulbs in my 75 to 6700K too.

Ghazanfar,

You will like it for a while. It will become too yellowish after certain amount of time. It did for me.

I had NO T12 9325K back in the days, changed it to 6700K PC from ahsupply and then purchased 8800K from hellolights because tank started to look yellow.

I prefer 6700/8800 combo.

Does the 8800 bring out the reds better?

When you get past 6500 start thinking about the brightest blue sky you can remember ever seeing. Now increase the intensity 25%. You don't get more red, you get more everything.

This is a nice set of charts that shows the color spectrums, you can clearly see Sean's point.<edited><editID>Cory</editID><editDate>37970.1809259259</editDate></edited>
