Be aware, trying an old used bulb to 'see how it looks', won't do it much justice. An old bulb is replaced because the spectrum shifted and no longer looks the way a new bulb looks.
Thanks Russ,
I still will like to get some type of idea how it looks if possible.
Even If some one is running them in there tank and wouldn't mind be stopping by to get a look at it please let me know.
Thanks,
Vic
