Default Sun Set Monti Color

Hi ya'll,
My first post on RB and would like to start by say hello,
I have a 180 reef with 4 x 6' VHO 03 and 3 x 175 10,000k MH 2 x 6100 Tunze Kalk/Cal reactor and I just got my first piece of sunset monti from my LPS. In the stores frag tank they use 250's and the sunset looked great in their tank. When I got it home I placed it around 8" from the top and in color in my tank is a deep red with yellow/green polyps.
Don't get me wrong I love the color but I love the sunset color better.
I think that the store uses Zeo, does anybody have any thoughts?
Thanks for your input.
Ade

They may use 20k bulbs where you use 10k

20k is a very bluish light like your actintics... 10k is a white/yellowish light...

That will make a difference in the apperance of your coral

Hope that helps some

I agree with Keith, there's a big difference in the color of the 20k bulbs vs 10k.
