I have a 6 bulb 36 aquaticlife t5 fixture; it has individual reflectors and is a pretty solid fixture.

The superblues are very similar to an aqua science 22,000k or an ati blue plus but not as deep of a blue color. It’s definitely different from the other bulbs and is more of a metallic blue color and is very close to what the manufacture list it as "20,000k". I was worried that it wouldn't fluoresce as much as the aqua science 22,000k but it does, and it appears to be brighter to the eye, but the eye isn’t a great indicator of par. I think the future par test are going to show that this bulb will have as much if not more par then an ati blue plus. I personally like the new gen bulb better then the coral light bulb and if I were to do it again I would have got two new gens and 1 coral light instead of the other way around. You will not regret going with these bulbs. I also really like the Fiji purple it isn’t as overpowering as I thought and it really helps with purple, reds, and blues.
