I currently have a 48" t5 2 blue 2 white setup, but I think the bulbs are from 2007, that's the date printed on them. I'm not planning on corals now, but would I need to replace them later? tank size 110
I have 8 most new some used for a few minutes just swapping out until I got the right look. I no longer use T5 so it's time to go. At most the bulb would only have 5 minutes on it so basically brand new. I only have 2 shipping tubes so you must buy 4 at a time 10 dollars a bulb plus shipping

Want to find the best deal possible as these will be “fill” lights next to my XR30 Radions
Also interested in T5 Fixtures
Hey everyone,
Does anyone know what the best “middle of the road” T5 fixtures would be?
—- Do I have to buy ATIs fixture to use their T5 bulbs? I have attached a picture below of the bulb I want to use.
Currently already have 3 G6 Blues but want to add some extra pop.
I've recently gotten a 190 gallon aquarium up and running with a 6 bulb T5 fixture on top of it, and I plan on introducing corals. My issue is deciding when, and one factor, I'm hoping this forum can help resolve, is my lighting situation. Since this fixture isn't dimmable, I can't dial the...
So I've been looking at possibly making it so my tank has more par then my two xr15 blues can provide and I want to do a hybrid fixture to get into some SPS but mainly a mixed reef with higher up being all sps and bottom being LPS. When it comes to the bulbs what are the differences and what...
Hi everyone and @ATI North America , has anyone experienced problems with this light? My hybrid module has 3 LEDs and 8X54W T5 tubes.
Two of the T5 tubes stopped working a while ago and recently one of the LEDs also stopped working. I'm wondering if anyone has had similar experiences with this...

Hi, planning out my build for the new house. 235g display, 300g stock tank sump with a standard 75g and a 42"x42" frag tank sharing it. Sps dominant with a few encrusting lps (leptos, cyphastrea, etc.). Using the LEDs from my previous tank in a new hybrid fixture (61" Aquaticlife Hybrid...
So to start off, I am no expert in keeping reef tanks and I have only kept them for around a year. I have heard of people saying that they get very good growth from 6500k lighting but it really browns out the corals and of course is very unappealing. On the other hand, the majority say that a...
Hello fellow reefers,
Looking for some advice on lighting my tank, as I am not happy with the current visual aesthetic. I have a 165W black box (actually don't know the brand, got it from another reefer who said "it was the best around 2014"). My first corals (LPS and Zoa) are doing great and...
I currently have a 48" SBox Pro from SB Reef Lights and a 48" T5 in the front as shown. My tank measures 48" long. I'm considering adding an additional 1-2 T5 bulbs on the rear of the tank for better light spread and shadowing issues. Currently, with how far up the T5 has to be mounted to allow...
Currently have four AI Hydra 26's, thinking of purchasing a GHL hybrid fixture which accommodates four T5 bulbs. Looking for guidance on bulb color recommendations to compliment the LEDs. Any recommendations?
Hi all here's my little journey in reefing. I'm located here in Houston Tx and with a lot of great local reef groups and stores. My main place to go is ocean life aquariums. Store owner Nick and all the employees are great people, very negligible, and super helpful. always has awesome coral and...
Hi - I’m still using 3 “AI Vega Color” fixtures over my 75 gal mixed reef and looking to add a couple T5’s.
Was hoping someone could assist with bulb choice to try to replicate Ecotech’s Coral Lab AB+ spectrum?
..since these lights are missing “UV” leds. Should I buy ATI purple perhaps?..Or...
Hello Reefers!
Finally it's here, after many hours of work and some tweak I published my video about the EcoTech Marine Radion G5 Pro with T5 from Giesemann.
I use the Aquatic Life Hybrid Fixture (god that thing has been so helpful for me).
I recorded all the combinations possible with my...
We uncovered some UV Lighting brand T5 and VHO lamps that have been in our warehouse for a long time. Unfortunately for us, they were removed from the website prematurely. If anyone needs new stuff and old stuff pricing then we may have what you need at a great price.
Here's the link...
Found this fixture on Home Depot Website and wanted to see if I can retrofit and run ATI bulbs on it.

I wanna change up my bulbs. Instead of running bulbs that please my eyes, I figured this time I will try to please my corals and get the best possible growth that I can.
Anybody care to discuss their current bulb combination from front to back and why you have chosen it. Would be nice to hear...
**NEW** Got shipped the wrong sized bulb from an online store. Opened it up and put right back in the box because it didn't fit my fixture, they didn't want it back. Packed with "the tube" packaging.
$15 + shipping
PM with shipping address.
A few months ago, I bought a set of 4 of the E5x Blue Pop 54W bulbs to run in my Giesemann Spectra fixture. These bulbs are absolutely amazing! They are basically a Reef Brite, but in a T5 housing. However, they are not compatible with a MH fixture that is not fan cooled. My Spectra fixture...
Hey all-
Just purchased a 45 gal. frag tank: 48" x 18" x 12" (tall) . I plan on growing mostly LPS and soft coral, but some SPS in the future as well.
I was thinking about going with the 36" 4-bulb fixture. (1x blue+, 2 actinic, 1 purple ATI bulbs) . I would like some areas of lower light in...
Hey Reefers-
I am venturing into propagation and will be setting up a simple hydroponic-style frag tank. The dimensions of the tray will be 24" x 48" x 7". (roughly 30 gal of water)
I am set on using solely T5's at the moment, but may decide on a T5/LED hybrid set up in the future. I also...
