I love it! I haven't used Hamilton's bulbs for a while though. I run a 20K XM metal halide bulb, 3 ATI aquablue plus and 1 Korallen zucht fiji purple.

Taken with cell so not that great. This one is with a coralvue 20k metal halide which is more on the blue side. The 20K XM is a little more white than blue which i like more. But here's one.
