    Default T-5 Actinic

    What is everyone's favorite blue bulb? I'm looking at the PowerChrome, Pure Actinic
    T5 Lamps by Giesemann 36" but @$25 a pop any input would be great. These two bulbs are just going to be supplementing my 12K reeflux.

    Thanks and happpy holidays!

    Also what is the difference of the blue peaking at 420 or 450?

    I'm using the Giesemann PowerChrome, Pure Actinic. Everything in the tank seems to really respond well to it. Well worth the extra $$.

    I have some blue plus as well. They are great for the color and the par, but do not have that make the corals glow like the super actinic. Sometimes the super actinic get described as "unnatural." I think it is cool. You can also get the bulbs from Kingfish in Austin.
