Best T5's??

[FOBMcGyver]

Hey guys,

I've been hearing these T5 bulbs are the best on the market.
Aquasun F39T5/V-HO 39W/60W - 10,000k
Super Actinic F39T5/V-HO 39W/60W - 420nm

What do you guys think?
Is there really a difference between T5 bulbs??

Thanks

Currently, I think you can't go wrong with the UVL (you mentioned above) and the ATi bulbs. Great color and PAR value. If staying with the UVL brand, the 75/25 bulb is great too.

If you just want sheer output, I wouldnt even bother with actinic. Many EU tanks just use the blue+ style bulbs for this reason, and the corals do just fine. My suggestion would be some daylight bulb (there are many with high outputs... GE 6500K, G-man midday, ATI, etc) with ATI's blue+ bulb in a 50/50 mix. Perhaps the ultimate T5 combo IMO.
