Color difference between Actinic XHO and 50/50 XHO

[Operator Wrasse]

I attempted to get an answer in their sponsor thread, but the company doesn't seem too active on R2R. Maybe you guys and gals can help instead!

Could you post some pictures of the difference in visible color of the full actinic and 50/50? I'm only putting 2 strips on my next tank to accent A360x's, but I'd like to see the physical comparison so I don't wash out my tank in Windex blue with pure actinics or have a lack of coral color "pop" from the 50/50s. Thanks!

I don't have comparison pictures, but I have owned both and can tell you 50/50 is very white. I would definitely accent with only the actinics xhos. They look great. The 360s will give you control and shimmer and the reefbrites actinics will give you great pop.

Awesome. Thank you for your input. If you have any pictures of your setup, I'd love to see and hear about your lights.

2014- mixed reef. Reefbrite XHO actinics in the corners angled in at 45 degrees and black boxes in the center.

The 50/50's are very much a very crisp white 10,000K look and the Actinics are like 20,000K deep blue.

If it were me I would go with the Actinics and dial up my 360's to the whiter side of things until I got the color rendition I wanted.
