Ok,

I know everyone has opinions, so please share them here....

I have a 2x250w Halide set-up w/ 2x96w pc actinics.

I use 7100 pcs for a more brighter "blue" look, but I understand that the 03 is a more "benificial" bulb for the corals.

Any testimonys? Who uses the actinic 03 and why do you like them better than the 7100?

Any useful comments appreciated.

I have both on my tank currently and I prefer the Actinc 03 the best because it doesn't turn everything a very bright light blue color. The 7100k turns everything the same shade of light blue where the Actinic 03 turns different shades of blue/purple etc...
