I have some Coral Life Pc's bulbs and i HATE them :mad:.. They are purple not blue like they are supposed to be.. Does anyone have any suggestions on brands? They are 55w.. I really wanna get a blue bulb! If anyone has a cheap T5 DIY for sale i could go that route to maybe.. ? If i end up with t5's what are some good bulbs?

I take it those are the ones we were talking about a while back? Same here, I won't touch corallife lamps anymore! ;)

I've been looking at the hamiltons and SPS (by Bluelife) but that's only because they are the only ones available in my area for 55 watt. Well, other than Corallife anyway.

The last CL's I got were 10,000k and there was a *drastic* color shift after only 3 months. I did reciently get a 28 watt PC CL fixture (it was cheap and for a mantis {shrug}) but the first thing I did was switch the lamp out for a 32 watt blueline... lol, didn't even test fire the CL lamp ;).
