I hope your actinic is not like mine. Mine is not that bright.

 

I have 3, so Il just have to see. Actinics dont look to bright to the human eye but they will keep the corals happy. When you get the tank going, and put a bright colored coral int here, and it glows under the actinics youll know what im talking about.

 

yeah, but i think there are even brighter actinic bulbs i got to check if it was the geissman that was pretty bright or the uvl actinics. Even turbo said that his actinics were alot brighter and they had more of a purple color. You have geissman actinics i have ati. ill let you know which ones were the brighest for t5s.

 

I know the UVL bulbs are bright, but the geissman bulbs are right behind them. Actinics want be purple unless they are closer to the 460nm mark, and not the blue 420nm mark.

 

I did some research now and the one that is recommended is the uvl super actinic. But i imagine yours would look good anyways, so post some pics when you get them.
