Project 360 - New Bulbs

Posted in Project 360 - Lighting, Project 360 by Jacob on the August 11th, 2009

I finally got my second Aquamaxx 14k bulb… just in time for the first one to shift to purple :(

I’ve only had the first bulb in use about 100 days before it changed from a nice blue spectrum to this purplish pink. It flickers sometimes and shifts back to blue~ish then back to purple again later. I’m frustrated and wish I hadn’t just purchased a second one of these bulbs, I’m hoping it was just a fluke. Here is a picture of the tank with the Aquamaxx bulbs on the ends and the Iwasaki in the center. You can’t really tell from this pic but the bulb closest to the camera is looking all violet right now. I’m talking to Marine Depot about the bulb and weighing my options…
