where to get ATI Blue+

I have the Phoenix 14k supplemented with UVL Super Actinics and I don't like it. Want to try the Blue+ but can't find them.

blue+ in the front since its brighter and will help fill in the shadow area, actinics can be in the back to round out the color

I just got an actinic t5 from dolphin pet village in campbell and I have to say that I'm impressed with the color next to my blue + and will go back probably this week to pick up another.

The only bulbs they have there are actinic. 6500k and 18000k.(which really is 10000k) I was a bit stand offish with them since I wasn't overly impressed with the 18000k bulbs at first since they were a little pink. But they have seemed to have whitened up a bit.
But I needed to replace my way over due UVL super actinic(I never liked the color on it) so I bought an actinic from dolphin and must say that the color was the same as my 12 month old blue+ and visibly brighter. I will be replacing that one as well from the actinic from dolphin.

Hope this helps Hiep. If you have any other questions tyler is always more then glad to help.

Chris
