I ran it. It's a beautiful lamp. Corals loved it also. However for whatever reason it gave out after only 5 months I've yet to buy another...funds are low don't ya know

I know the feeling there:-( lol.

Did you only run that lamp or did you have it in a combination with others?

What color did you get out of it?

4x24w T5HO-1x Aquablue special-1x Coral plus and 2x blue plus. Totally love the look and growth I got with this combo.

I'm using one right now in a 6 lamp aquatic life fixture with the following combination front to back.

Purple +
Blue +
Blue +
Coral +
Blue +
Blue+

The color is nice and growth is solid. In fact, I have to raise the fixture....it's a lot of light for a 16" deep tank, but I do like it.

Creefer what kind of color output do you get with that combination? any chance you could post a picture of it?

I'm headed out. I'll try to post a pic later. I'm really bad at picture taking. I'm guessing that the color is north of the 15K territory, but not quite 20k.

Here is a pic of the tank when it was set up with the aquablue special. I'll get one soon with the coral + in place of the AB Special.
