I currently run geisemann bulbs for my t5's, but was wondering if anyone else makes a pure actinc t5?

Try the UV Lighting Super Actinics, formerly URI. These things really make your corals pop.

thanks, do you think these are better than the geisemann actinics?

My UVL is more purple and the D-D Giesemann is more blue.

if i run 2 actinics on my 75, would i be better off the use one geisemann and one uvl, or should i keep them the same?

Im really not the one to ask what color the bulb is because Im color blind. Blue, Pink, Purple....whatever! It all looks the same to me. :)

I use them because they fluoresce the corals like no other bulb.

That's what's nice about multiple T5 setups, you can mix and match to your own taste and what looks good to you.
