Aquascience T5 bulb/par ratings

[Serioussnaps]

I was wondering if anyone has tested the output on the aquascience bulbs from fauna marin? I love the ATI bulbs so I should probably stick with them, however, I still have an insatiable curiosity! Sorry in advance if it is in another thread(a link would be ok!)

Thanks anyone and everyone

I have seen comparisons in the German forums. FWIW, the AS bulbs beat the ATIs by a narrow margin... Im talking less than 5%.

hahn the colors of the aquascience seem to make everything look like a light aqua blue
what do you think of the colors
if they beat the ati and they have a really nice color they might be a great bulb

They have a huge following in the EU along with AquaPerfekt (same mfg), yes. Id say that they are a great bulb. Perhaps my only complaint is that they dont have a true actinic... but its not like G-man doesnt make a nice one anyways. The only other bulb I have yet to see in the US that would be very nice is the korallen-zucht.

yea so these with the gman actinic is a good reccomendation for someone looking for a unique bright look
