i've tried all types of combos including actinic+ and purple +, to make color pop a little better stick with the coral+.. the aquablue special is definitely brighter white though.

No specific reason. I am new to T5s and a lot of people said ATI bulbs were very popular.

You can't go wrong with ATI as I ran them myself although I run Giesemann for the last ten months and I'm never was more amazed for what these bulbs put out and the results I get out of my corals.
Than again this hobby has a big diversity on what lights are the best lights, one swears with MH an other on Led's or for that matter T5's or any combo in no particular order.
Just take your time and scroll through this forum for what combo on T5 hobbyist running.
The color combo I run might not please your eyes and vise versa.

What specific Giesemann bulbs are you running? I'm planning on supplementing LED with T5HO, and I was curious how these bulbs compare (in terms of color) to the ATI bulbs.

No I don't, sorry. I don't have a nice camera, so I wouldn't be able to capture the true colors anyway.

What I did was buy and extra purple plus and extra blue plus and it gave me the ability to play around with the bulb combo.
