power compact bulb question

[brody98]

Hi can anyone tell me which what is better for actinic lighting, i.e the 7100k super actinic custom sea life bulb type or the actinic 03 some places are selling, I've just got the 03 bulbs and they make the coral look better but what bulb is actually better for the corals if it makes any difference this is a mh/pc hood with 10,000k ushio 175's and 65w pc actinics thanks Aaron

I have used both and prefer the true actinic 03. It gives a more natural flourescense to the corals. More aestetically pleasing as well.

Ya thats what I was thinking, that it looked better with the 03's. Just wanted to know if there was a down side to using them....thanks chuck
