Default Which T5 bulbs do you like the best?

This is my first experience with T5's as I have always used MH or LED.


I have a 24 inch light with 4 T5 HO bulbs.

Looking to replace them since I bought the light used and dont know how old they are. My tank is mainly zoa and SPS. (20 gal tall with 4+ inches of sand, skimmerless)

Currently the combo is 2 Actinic, 1 fiji purple, 1 10k.

Is there a difference between brands?

I have been reading and most people agree UVL Super actinics are the way to go for actinics.

Looking for opinions on a combo and which brand to use.

I would like decent coral growth and a fairly blue look as well as something to make the coral colors pop.

I realize my question is fairly general and I am asking for a lot (growth is sacrificed for color, etc)

Thanks for the help.
