48" 54w T5 bulbs

I personally don't like the ATI's too purple for my taste... what about the Giesemann actinic + they have a nice blue color?
 
I was recommended these lights over in reefcentral by grimreefer. Now I really don't know which to get. I have not seen any of the lights in action.
 
I have both Giesemann & ATI running on separate tanks, I can't wait to change the ATI to a actinic + once the life of the bulb expires, if you want to come by and see them in person your more than welcome too. actinics are on by themselves from 12:30-2pm and then 8-9:30pm.
 
Thanks Mott, but that is over an hour away from me. Do you have any pics? This is what waas suggest for lighting:

front
Blue Plus
Aquasun
Super Actinic
Aquablue
Blue Plus

What do you think? I would like to keep LPS, SPS, and one clam.
 
Doesn't UVL also make some of those bulbs? I haven't seen any geismann, ATI, or even ULV around, are they only available online?

It is hard to recommend bulbs cause everyone taste is differant, I ran actinic +, GE 65K Gies 12K and Current USA 10K for daylights out of them I liked the GE 6500K and current USA 10K the best for daylights and the Gies actin + and pure actinic they give me the best color when used together IMO
 
I'll get some new pic's when the lights come on,
He is some pic's(bad) of my old tank with the actinic + Current 10K and GE65K T5 only tank.
