Steve why would it make a difference if you are running actinics or not?? Might get cheaper bulbs if you can convince me...

Well Ushio is white, Sunaquatics is pretty much white, Hamilton is bluish.
Between the Ushio and the Sunaquatics if you are running a couple VHO Actinics at the same time you will never see a difference and the Sun Aquatics have more output than the Ushio from my testing. The two most powerfull bulbs I have tested so fare are the AB and the Sun Aquatics. out of the two the AB has a slight blue tinge and the SA is white and somtimes has a slight (as in a tiny tiny bit) green tint like mine do but with the Actinic on you can't tell. So for less money you are getting more PAR and with actinics you won't see a difference.
