Let's play "Guess that T5 Bulb" I can't remember which one I used

Hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to track down the bulb I used on a previous tank and can't remember. It was a UVL bulb and I think it was either an Aqua Sun, Indigo Sun or Actinic White.

The other 3 bulbs were
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue Special
Either another blue plus or a UVL super actinic

For some reason my ESP abilities are not working today. I am not able to pick up your thoughts to determine the bulbs you have used in the past. It might be a distance problem, but I’ll keep trying.

I believe UVL color codes the little metal end pieces of their bulbs. If you remember that color, you can go to their site and figure out what bulbs you had.

The problem is, I had all three at the time. I'm pretty sure it wasn't an Indigo Sun because i think I remember it being a little too red for my tastes. What ever it was it gave the tank a good pop with nice reds but wasn't too blue or yellow.

my bet would be the actinic white i hear that bulb gives a little redness which would give you that red pop without going overboard though
