sorry for posting this twice... the link in the other post did not work.

I am considering buying this product...
http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/pro...roducts_id=1458

can anyone tell me anything at all about it? is it a good product? is it worth the money? I think its innovative that it does not have a case. I would think that it does better with keeping things cooler. please help if you have any info what-so-ever. ty

The 15k's where a mild blue but not as Britte as the 10k Ushio's. I think The Ushio's with good actinics is a good way to get a little blue with good par #'s
