T5 bulbs

[NC2WA]

I am researching T5 bulbs and would like to see a picture of the difference of color from the following T5 bulbs:

Giesemann bulb
TRU Actinic 03 bulb

Can anyone share a pic or point me to a web site that can show me the difference. I've been told that Gisesmann is the "top dog" in the T5 world.

thanks

burning 2nd is that 30 gallon 30''? i was just wondering how a 36'' lighting system wuold fit on a 30'' long tank?

 

[burning2nd]

your tank is 30" long or deep?

my lights would fit on a 30 i would have 3 " over hang on each side.

the legs can be adjusted.

OK, Here's the latest readings taken with the lamps running on a triad ballast. The numbers are only good for comparison here. Previous readings I took were with a different ballast and reflector so don't try to compare the two.
