Anyone use ati true actinic bulbs?

[josh4107]

Just wondering if anyone uses these and how they like them. How do they compare to other actinic bulbs? Better? Worse? Same? Thinking about getting a couple but I want to make sure they are as nice as other actinic t5 bulbs. Thanks!

I was using geismann pure actinic, and I just recently switched to ati actinic. I think I like the geismann better. The ati's seem to cast a more purple hue over the tank, where as the geismann was darker, yet the corals still popped. I wish I didn't throw the geismann's away, then I could've switched back momentarily to confirm.

Thanks for the reply, this is exactly what I was wondering. I'll take your word for it as I've seen your pics and your corals always look amazing. I'll probably go with the geismann now.

What's your opinion rob? My first time buying t5 actinics, looking for everyone's favorites and I know you grow some great stuff as well

Hate to admit it but I agree with All Delight. I also like the Giesmann Actinics over the ATI.

I ran two ati actinics on my new ati dimmable for the last few days. It makes the color pop like never tomorrow.
