Hi guys...

A relative of mine has a 125g reef (6 foot tank),has had daylight compacts and floures. actinics as his lighting and the tank water looked great,now he upgraded to a fixture (expensive one with Elec. ballast) with a few 175w "Aqua Ray" MH bulbs and a couple 140w actinics,and the water is green under them..

I would assume its the particular bulbs he is using but not sure,is there a color diff. with Halide bulbs?,could anyone suggest bulbs that will not make the tank (rocks,fish and all) look green?, I never sold MH lights and dont know much about em....thanks.....Riot....

It is probably an issue with the bulb. MH bulb comes in color temperature anywhere from 6500K to 2000K in the hobby. For non-reef bulb, the color temperature can be anywhere between 2700K to 6000K. Do you know what is the color temperature of the "Aqua Ray" bulb?
