T5 HO Fluorescent Lamp Colormax

I have this bulb in front and a 6700k bulb in back to make my plants grow. My tank is high, like 22". When the fish swim within the top 12" to 16", this bulb makes their colors look soooo much deeper and richer. Power blue and dwarf gouramis look irradescent. Cherry shrimp glow bright red and red wag platties and swordtails have deep oranges. The powder blue gouramis look kinda lame in petsmart under the normal lights and I was kicking myself on the way home for buying it, but once it swam near the colormax bulb, I was glad I got him. One of my favorite fish now.

I was pretty skeptical that a bulb could make much difference to the colors of fish. I figured it was just another one of those things they market to get more money out of you, but this thing actually is worth the money.

I have had it 6 months now, on for 9 hrs a day and it is still working fine. (Knock on wood)
