      Best LED for actinic?

      I'm running a 36" aqualife T5 hybrid with 2x Kessil 360s. The everything is happy and growing, but I'm on the fence about the color. The kessils are bright and I really like the shimmer, but I want more pop. I was considering changing one of the lights to a AI26hd or xr15pro to see if it's any better. Having 4 T5 bulbs should give me nearly all the PAR I need, so choosing an led based on pop/color seems reasonable. What are peoples opinions on the LED with the best 'color/pop'?

      If you’re looking for pop you should check out the new light from Orphek. I believe it’s called slimline. I only say this because my led flashlight is Orphek and that little guy makes my coral look amazing. Also all of the reviews online swear the color is top notch.

      I'd say some xho's or the new opheck 0R2's in blue plus. I have a set of the or2's, just haven't hooked them up yet

      I have an SBar on the tank which is ok. A major problem is that I am out of plugs on the Apex. I have 2x 8 plug bars and they are full so I really need to replace something. I like the hybrid fixture, but having 2 plugs the the kessils and 2 plugs for the T5s is crazy. Add the Sbar to that and it's a PITA. Before upgrading I had a dimmable ati and 2 XHO and that was three plugs total. So if I want more pop, it will have to be replacing a kessil with something.
