    It's in! It's in! Holy **** are these XM's the **** or what!!! The claim on them is the best par for any 10k 175 watt SE Metal Halide... seems true as far as I'm concerned. I can't believe the diff. Here's a pic or 3...

    How are you acclimating the new bulbs to the tank?

    Brave....aren't you!! That's quite an increase in PAR.

    We are going to try a couple of the 20k XM's on the softie tank, probably order them next week.

    Here's a b4... Ereefic, do you think it's really that much so that there could be probable un-reversible damage???

    I guess i'd rather be safe than sorry. They may be fine, they may not, you never know in this crazy hobby. Even loosing one coral to it would suck.

    Throw a piece or 2 of screen over the tank. Run it for a few days then remove one layer. After a few more days remove the last layer.
