My friend had the mega chrome 13k bulb.He wasn't happy with the bulb at all.Try and get them to give you a 20 k bulb.My friend noticed some of the corals didn't like the spectrum.I didn't like the colour.It loked like a dull white blue.The 20 k looks nicer.I don't have the fixture but I have seen it.Its nice and the quality is good but its pricy$$.

Heh, I tried the 13k and 20k and I prefer the 13k. Love the intensity and crispness. The 20k is too blue for me. Guess it depends on what suits your taste. I've gotten better color from corals overall, with bulbs that are more white looking than obviously blue.

You would think with the t5 it would not look to white.
