Which one is better in terms of marine blue actinic (more blue colour) ?

Arcadia Marine Blue Actinic or ZooMed CoralSun ?

[trevy]

btw anyone here manage to use the acardia 2ft tube on a 2ft flourescent casing ?

want to know too, pls help

wat i know here.. is that usually that the antinic is a matter of for viewing pleasure.. it doesn't exactly promote coral growth or help it ..

off topic alittle....recently, I turn my actinic light longer and realise that coralline algae grow slightly faster.... :)

me too My actinic light was place at the front portion of the tank, and i notice more growth at the front row LR compare to the back row.

By the way, i'm using a 2ft tube which cost me $10, can't remember the brand, but give me good florecence result on my coral

i really hope a senior reefer can clarify... for me is that i am using 2 55w pl one white one more is mix blue and white.. i use to use one white fl and one more blue antinic fl..

it does not prove to me anything.. only my corals being bleached..

now using 55w pl is satisfactory.. and then to think there is still "t5" but everything is matter of $$$$$$

but we all would learn along the way.. for now my lighting is good enough for my 2 feet tank which is only 1 feet deep

just bought zoo med antinic light, i not happy with it, looks more purple than blue !!! any one can give their reviews on Arcadia antinic ? how blue or how purple is it ?

thanks

looks like this , 1x15w zoo med antinic, on the pic looks blue but real life is purple,

[limbssg]

I've used both 15W FL recently. IMO, Arcadia Marine Blue Actinic is purplish and ZooMed CoralSun is bluish.

arcardia is blue lah... very blue... very nice IMO...

are the cheap cheap brands of actinic light any good?
