9325K The Difference - Lighting

missphnx · 03-30-2004, 01:13 PM

I came here to research lighting for this tank and my new one. I heard so many good things about the GE 9325K here that I decided to replace my bulbs with those. So, at the advice of many here I ordered one of those and 1 Coralife Trichromatic (6500K, I think).
The difference is incredible. Thanks guys!

Where did you get those frameless tanks ?

Here is more 9325K vs. 6700K samples (*those tanks are not mine)

I got my tank from my brother-in-law...and he got it from a friend. I don't know where it came from originally. But I did see one on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...EBWA%3AIT&rd=1

Also, there was a place online that made acrylic tanks that had some like it...I just need to find the link

Here is a comparison that I did. The white balance wasn't adjusted as a basis. All photos are with the same aperature, shutter and white balance setting.

1) 5000K/6700L

2)5000k/GE

3)6700k/GE

4)GE/GE

Glad to see your happy with the bulbs. I prefer a mix of 9325K and 6700K.

I intend to try a 10K in the place of 6700K and see how that goes, but have not got around to it yet.

Anybody know of any good Metal halid bulbs doing the same? I would love to get that red color in my tank! I have 4x70W of MH lights, all 5200kelvin bulbs with Rx7 socket. I know there are 10,000kelvin and 13,000 kelvin bulbs, but most of the light here is in the blue range. Would this be OK for my plantet tank?

Aqualine Buschke has a 5000K HQI in 70w, 150w, and 250w that are designed for a planted tank and have extra red designed in them. These two places carry them.
