Coralife Actinic
just bought a coralife actinic 15 watt, from petsmart, and the color is not blue, infact its the same color (spectrum) as my 2 year old bulb. the hood is a normal eclipse hood from petsmart. WHY ISNT THE COLOR BLUEISH THEN?

Is it a 50/50 bulb? Those aren't 100% blue.

just looked at the light, and it seems someone swapped it out for a sun-glo light. WTH.

Someone probably stole the actinic by putting it in a cheaper box. At least you got it from a store that might return it. Most lfs around here would say so sorry.
