    Hey everyone, I am purchasing a 48" Tek Light Fixture by tonight and I am at a loss on what combo I should use. Here are my choices:

    Giesemann 11000k Aquablue Plus
    Giesemann 6000 Midday
    Giesemann Acitinic Plus
    Giesemann Pure Acitinic

    Thank you for you help!

    From BRS, right? Yeah Zimmy, I've decided on the 1:1 ratio like Ultimate Warriors thread. I've a 4 bulb T5 so I'm buying 3 Midday 6000's, 1 Actinic Plus.

    The Midday 6000 is a very broad spectrum
    The Aquablue Plus is a full spectrum closer to the 6000
    The Pure Actinic spikes at 420nm
    The Actinic Plus spikes at 450nm

    I figure I'll try the Actinic Plus for that little zap of "blue"

    Good luck!! ::)
