Is there much of a difference between a UV Super actinic and a KZ Fiji purple? They are both violet colored, right?

do a 3rd Blue Plus instead of the Aquablue

One's purple and the other is violet, two different spectrums.

About the same, Yes PAR makes them grow

Which do you like better in conjunction with 2 blue+ and a GE 6500K?

Alright, been reading, and reading, and reading, and reading...man this thread is long.
I'm looking to switch out the bulbs on my 48" NEP on my 75g, probably (hopefully?) after the holidays. I'm looking for 14,000-15000K-ish in color. Tank is primarily LPS with the odd SPS here & there high on the rocks.
Looking for a good bulb combo. I was thinking
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Blue Special
ATI Blue Plus
UVL AquaSun
ATI Blue Special or UVL 75.25
UVL Super Actinic
Thoughts on color & PAR?
FWIW, on my 4 bulb Tek I had
ATI Blue Plus
UVL AquaSun
ATI Blue Plus
Giesemann Actinic Plus
I wasn't crazy about the color.
Thanks :thumbsup:

Hi The Grim Reefer ,
doesn`t the KZ fiji purple stimulates more algea growth as the color temprature is lower and more beneficial to them ?
my combo :
front - aqua medic 15000 K - KZ fiji -purple - ati blue plus - ati bleu plus - back

Want to sell me yours? You should always have the latest and greatest equipment for your T5 consulting firm. It could be a write off.

The Giesemann is more violet, I personally prefer the more blue look of the UVL Super Actinic and ATI's Actinic but thats all personal taste.

I stopped using actinics altogether because I found they made no difference with all the lights on, at least not enough to make any sense, I preferred the higher PAR of the Blue lamps.

You think this thread is long try going back through the 30 or so thread splits it's gone through since 05:sad2:
I would use an Actinic White instead of the Aquasun, don't use the 75/25 and use the actinic in the front
Front
UVL Super Actinic
ATI Blue Special
ATI Blue Plus
UVL Actinic White
ATI Blue plus
ATI Aquablue

No. All things being equal certain spectrums might cause algae to grow better but none will cause it.

If I could find someone dumb,,,,, insightful enough to give me about 100 bucks for mine I would buy a better one:bounce3:
I added up what I can track I've spent just to do testing, let alone the hobby in general and it's ugly.
