give your comments on this 3 tubes base on the ligthing, the effect on the plant,
- do they grow well,
- the colour of your plant ,does it look greenish or yellowish,
- effect on the fish, does the colour look good, if the light too bright the fish colour not very nice lai...

More or less the same lah

There should be not much difference between the tubes in terms of plant growth and appearance.

The only major difference may be the ability to retain the brightness. I find AEC tubes' brightness decrease faster compared to Osram tubes.

for me , i use 1x36w AEC and 1x36w Elbiru PL tube ,
when on it individually , it give me different effect.
if i ON the AEC PL tube it give me a yellowish appearance and the colour of the fish look better, maybe its not that bright.
but when i ON the Elbiru PL tube, it looks brighter and whiteer, but fish not so nice in colour.
that is why i use two different tubes.
