Which do you prefer?

Either/Or, it all looks like eye candy to me

Great job!

You are right about the "look" that the 20K gives. Unfortunately, under 175 watters, 20K's are very weak.

If they are strong enough for you, I would stick with it. The tank looks stunning under them.

That is an interesting point--blue pieces (which are, IMO, the real eye candy in coral colors) look pretty lame under the 20k's. But the overall tank sure looks brighter/more colorful under the 20's.

both look great. but it does look like 2 different cameras...or camera settings. the 20k does appear brighter. :?
i was under the impression it would be somewhat dimmer, so i went with 14k. hmm..if it's not, then i'll jump up too.
quick question: what is the full name for that coral you called orenji?
i have googled it and all i come up with is koi fish
