Figi Purple T5HO Lamps

Are they that much better than say UVL super actinic? How would you describe there look and what they do to corals?

They are red/pink dominant lights. IMO, they bring out the reds, oranges and greens. Definitely not like actinics.

Are they closer to the UVL 75.25? I haven't ever used the Fiji bulb but I think from looking at spectrums they should be similar? Or at least more so than the super actinic.

I've never used the UVL 75.25 so I can't make a comparison. Maybe someone can chime in here and help with the comparison?!

I believe they are different as the purple has more of the lower end of the spectrum. The 75.25 is more like a blue plus with higher ends of the spectrum. The purple should be used with lamps that have 6 or more bulbs

i personally dont like the color the Fiji purple puts out when i had t5 i used the 75/25


if u want to see what it looks like im sure one of the tanks has one at the shop call before you come and ill double check for you

Thanks for the responses, looks like I will stay will actinic. A little info I am mounting my marineland led in a canopy with a t5 on each side to offset the white color of the led. It makes my ponape birdnest look yellow and fried my green birdsnest yellow.
