Hi guys,

I was just wondering whats the difference between the above? I know actinic pro is more purple and blue pro is more blue. However, I would also liek to know which one is actually better for a marine tank or its just for preference sake. Pls advise. Thanks in advance!!

Cheers

Errrr....

Thought the Blue pro was white and Actinic pro is blue? I'm using AquaZ leh. Too long haven't change already might have to double confirm this or you can drop Horizon Venture or Dr_Evil for more details. Alternative, drop the sponsor AquaZ a pm loh.

Hey bro,

Nope the blue pro is 20k but blue compared to the actinic pro thats 20k but purple..

Need to know which is better. I read that coralline algae requires blue light to grow well but is it blue or actinic. I think the white light from Aquaz is the 10k white light so its prolly different. Thanks for helping though

Cheers

I got confused too, between the Aquaz Blue-Pro and thought it was more like 20k or 14k. I am grateful to Aquaz for letting me try out some of their tubes... at no cost.

Aquaz has 20k T5s and they give a bluish white look, like what all 20ks. The Blue-Pro are truly blue when fired up. So blue, it looks ghostly at first. I think its something akin to the colour of ATI's blue-special. Aquaz still carries Actinic range of T5s.

Actinic lighting brings out the florence pigment that some corals have but do not show under normal lighting.

I think their Blue-Pro a single blue spectrum of lighting. Blue spectrum is known to out-last, other colour spectrums as it goes into deeper depths. Photosynthetic corals are known to be able to harness this blue lighting for their energy requirements.

the blue pro tubes are blue in colour but the actinic tubes are blue with a mixture of purple...

20,000k tubes are in white...

hey guys,

Thanks a lot for your replies. So i guess its a matter of preference huh? With regards to the fact that blue light is supposed to be more penetrative so does that mean that the blue pro will be more useful than the actinic pro?
