Coralife DE 150Watt 14k's

nickxx4360 · 08/26/2009, 06:55 PM

I had these for a month, bought them from a fellow reefer that said they ere only a month old.

Anyone that ever ran these New, did they look like this after a month??

I bought them new and ran them for a whole year. I don't remember them looking like that. They look more like the 10000K. Do they say 14000K on them? And my buddy still has them with no actinics and his tank is much bkuer than that. They actually aren't a bad color bulb,IMO. I still have them, I could put them in real quick maybe tomorrow or the next day and get a pic for you if you would like?

Yes please post a pic.

It says coralife 14k on the bulb. It looks like he pulled a fast one on me.

I just put the bulbs in and they are pretty yellow looking without the actinics on. I think I was remembering them with the actinics. I will post a pic in a little while.

I have three of them over my 210, they started out alright but went south quickly, I have had them burning 5 months and I will be changing them out shortly, thinking of going with a phoenix 14k, color just became too yellow, not as bad as there 10k bulbs but still not satisfied with them.
