SRC Member yiocs Posted February 1, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 i m using Giesemann tube but i guess the brightest depend a lot on the kind of ballast u using too... i am using the osram electronic ballast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I actually tested both tubes (in Actinic) on my old Solite MH + T5 fixture and ATI had given me a better colouration (corals look better especially fluorescent red and green) Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcuss Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Good ballast will supply the maximum power to your bulb and Good reflector also will double the light to penetrate or more concentration to bottom of your tank.The combination of aqua blue and aqua blue plus also will give you good color.
