![]() I just swapped out my blue actinic bulbs for KZs fiji purple bulbs. I was wondering who else is using them and how has your tank responded? I tried a combination of purple and blue first and liked how it looked, then went all purple and wow, what a difference.Not sure if it is more that the KZ bulbs are a better quality bulb but they sure seem brighter and make the colors really pop. One question I have is will my corals suffer from not getting true blue actinic lighting?

![]() I use all fiji purples over the blues or actinics, it's half blue half red and I prefer the color over other options. KZ are my favorite T5 brand and are suppose to be brighter than the competition. My corals have responded well to the purples, and the color is way better than blue alone.

![]() I run 6 t5's and one halide, out of the 6 T5s, two are KZ purples and the other four are KZ coral lights, as far as I remember anyway. The Halide is 250W 14K Phoenix.
I don't have comparison shots, but even if I did you would have to take two pictures with exact same camera settings, if not the WB will be compensated and you wouldn't see much of a difference. |
