thanks, i think i found a good tip to help. on the vho, pc, mh thread, forgot the real name, but some were talking about using a pvc pipe or some white or gray to adjust the white balance. seems to work for few, think i will trying it on my new camera.

Re: Giesemann Megachrome Bulbs

I just ordered the MegaChrome Marine 12.5K se from our sponsor DIYReef. My current bulbs are Reeflux and i liked them a lot but want to try these now. I have been reading a lot about them and the reviews are good. I'll let you all know in 6 months what i think. So far the Reeflux are the best. I got 8 months out of them and the bulbs are startin to shift color.

Re: Giesemann Megachrome Bulbs

I like mine!!

Anyone know the PAR/PUR generated by this bulb as compared to others? Are they higher, lower, middle of the pack?

I'm getting lots more growth with these than the VHO's but that's to be expected. I really like the look and growth I've been getting lately.

Thanks and God bless,
Chris
