Setup new Metal Halide fixture!

[Alfredo De La Fe]

I set up my new MH fixture this evening. The bulbs are Blueline 10K 400W, as of right now they are WAY too blue. I am hoping that the color will correct itself the same as the new 175W bulbs I would use, but with an Electronic ballast I have heard that it does not happen as quickly.

Any suggestions? I love the intensity, but the light is so blue that my Red Sea purple tang looks BLACK! All of my corals are flourencing BIG TIME.

Thanks,

-Alfred

Alfred I've never seen the 400w blueline bulbs but the 250 are very blue. Looks like 20k.
