Is there another fluorescente tube (other than PC lights) that resembles an actinic bulb? Like a blacklight for instance, have a good spectrum of blue rays. I dont really want T5 or PC lights. I have a 30 gal tank that i want some reef in. But only easy to moderate care. This is my first saltwater tank. As of now i only have 20W 24" plant and aquarium T12 light and a 16" blacklight which is blue not purple. I have about 50 pounds of liverock and algae seems to be doing good.
blacklight is not the same spectrum as actinic, and would do nothing for corals
honestly i don't know why you're opposed to T5's.. they are in my honest opinion probably the best lighting source next to LEDs (and at a fifth of the price of LEDs)
they are reasonably cheap
long lasting
produce little heat
and intense
it's the perfect package
30 gallons are also a great tank to use since many lighting companies include 36" units as one of their standard sizes, so you could get a wide array of lights to suit whatever you're needs may be
