i have to disagree and vote Aqua Science bulbs...

Do they make a 30" lenght bulbs for my 20Gal Long refuge?

 

[Wes]

no only in one foot increments...so you would have to go with 24" or 36"

I use both ATI and Giesemann. Been very happy with them.

Geisemann & UVL IMO are two of the best T5 bulbs out there now. 'Best' bulbs are very subjective to the viewer. Everyone will have an opinion, but only yours matters (as long as you provide the necessary lighting requirements for your animals).

i swapped my guisemanns out w/ the AquaScience bulbs and was very happy w/ the difference. Corals showed better color and i hit a growth spurt. They are new to the US but have been getting rave reviews "across the pond"
