    what is your favorite actinic combination?
    its time to get two new bulbs for t5 and i want some nice wavelengths.
    Already have a 420nm purple actinic that doesnt need replaced yet but i want to get some variation for nice coloration...

    I have a 175 watt 14K MH

    I run UVL Supers. They are awesome. Great color pop.

    You sure it's an ATI aquablue+? ATI makes a Blue Plus and Giesemann makes an Aqua Blue+.

    The ATI Blue Plus is awesome. From left to right: ATI Blue Plus, Giesemann Aqua Blue+, Aqua Science Special 15000 K, Giesemann Midday, Giesemann Aqua Blue+ and ATI Blue Plus.
