SO like the title says anyone use the Super Actinic? I need a couple of ne Actincs for my hybrid and would normally just buy ATI True Actinic but no place in town carries them any more. I can get the Super actinic in town though but have never seen one on a tank or know anyone that uses them to offer advise.

Is it the Actinic blue? If so here is some comparisons of the 2 companies I picked of the web awhile back. I would stick with ATI. They get better while the other is falling off fast for quality at the 100 hour mark of use.

I’m using them in combination with blue+, and I like them.
Granted this is over zoas and lps, but I feel the growth has increased and the colors are becoming more vivid.

I am using a blue+, coral+, blue+, true actinic combo
First 5 months with no true actinic. My Rastas went from 4 to 7. After I put the true actinic in. They went from 7 to 90+ in 1 year.

Thanks for the info but I built a hybrid fixture with 2 Hydra 26's and 4 T5's, not looking for a combo to run.
I want to replace 1 of my 3 Blue+ and my current True Actinic with 2 Super Actinicsince I can get them intwon but cannot get the ATI in town.
I was just curious if anyone uses the Giesemann and what they thought about them if they had.
