    If you had to pick one T5 bulb...

    So my current setup is a 65G tank with lighting provided by 2 AI Prime Hydras. Overall I love these lights. However, I am thinking about adding a T5 fixture. I've become convinced that LED/T5 combos are the way to go. My dilemma is that under my hood I only have room for a one bulb T5 fixture...

    Trying to find balance with 4 bulb T5 fixture

    I purchased a used 4 bulb T5 fixture, and look to replace the bulbs soon. It's an aquatic life fixture and I believe it still has the OEM bulbs in it. Its running 1 White, 2 Blues, and 1 Purple bulb. I'm looking to keep softies, and maybe LPS corals in this tank, and I'd like them to grow, and...

    T5 4 bulb par?

    Anyon have a 36" 4 bulb t5 over your reef and happen to have a par meter? I have one 8" over a 40b and was wondering w/o the investment what the #'s are. My rocks are pretty low so probably about 14" from the rocks to the light.

    ATI True Actinic thoughts?

    After a lot of reading I noticed the true actinic bulb is the only bulb that hits 425 nm where it’s most significant according to the chart. Why don’t people use this bulb other than the PAR value? Thoughts?

    Lighting a 4’ cube after the hurricane

    Originally I had a DIY LED fixture that I made myself (see pics). When the hurricane hit the ceiling gave in and it fell into the tank and fried. Currently I have two XR 30s and a 24” Aquatic Life fixture. I’m not happy with the Aquatic Life but see the benifits of T5 lighting. My Aquascape is a...

    Hope this is my last Lighting question

Got a few bulbs 2- B+, 2-C+ and a couple of different singles to try out. I did read a few articles on the...

    How do you size T5 bulbs?

    I've looked all over the web and asked a couple of LFS but no one seems to have a formula on how to size the T5 bulbs... I understand that every tank has different requirements and everyone has different tastes but there has to be some sort of formula to determine the PAR range of a specific T5...

    Frag tank lighting

    hey guys, I'm currently setting up a low boy frag tank. It's going to be about 100 gal system. I wanted to put an ati fixture over it and was wondering if to go with a 4 or 6 bulb. The low boy is 10 inches tall and think a 6 bulb might be an overkill. Also at what height should I hang the lights...
