New PC Lights from Captivereef.com

Well everyone I just got my 96watt PC lights from Captivereef.com. My old lights were 18 moths old and needed to be replaced. I also have 2-250 watt 10k MH. Let me know what you think.

I assume the PCs are actinic. It sure does make a difference when you put some new gas in those tubes.....

I agree no more yellow
You don't realize how old the bulbs are after looking at them every day. After you replace them it's a big difference.
