i ordered mine from hellolights.com, and you are very welcome. you can see a LITTLE difference when i turn the actinics off (in person). i was a 100% 10k reeflux guy before i saw these bulbs !!
 
Aother bulb you might want to look into is the Aquaconnects.You pay a little more for these.But go for 1 full year before replacing.Where other bulbs you are lucky to get 6 moths.So in the long run,it comes out about the same.Also the AC bulbs are rated as one of the highest PAR ratings in any bulbs.I ran these with actinics,and Blue plus ATI great combo.
 
i have the xm 15k....i LOVE them!!!!! great color, and the corla really have taken to them.
 
I am also a fan of the XM 15K! Best thing to do IMHO is visit a place where you can see the bulbs in person that you are interested in. I have seen thousands of tanks with a lot of different lighting variations, it is your tank, light it the way you want to!
 
I use radium with one actinc and one actinic white. The Radiums come on by their self for the first hour or so and look very good alone. Here is what they look like with the fluorescent bulbs. By the way I have them new for 72.95 with prorated 12 month warranty.
