Are all T5 bulbs the same? (Brands)

[tri4god]

I am currently running a 36 inch Aquatic life HO T5 bulbs. Some Antic, some 10k.

I currently am using ATI bulbs but want to switch to Coralife because of the %50 discount. The watts and the wavelength are the same. Will I see any difference?

I'm talking about T5 bulbs. I believe those are LED

They are ok, but I'd much rather use ATI, Geismann, or KZ bulbs

What Coralife bulbs are you thinking of getting?

You will see a difference in colour.

I'm looking at the 10k daylight and the Blue antic bulbs. Take a look at my link above that has the picture. They are just so cheap its tempting if its just a difference in brand and not color.

I have a 72in Aquatic Life light over my 220 and initially swapped the stock bulbs for Coralife. Then i switched them all out to ATI on a Christmas deal a few years ago and never looked back. i don't have a par meter but to me the colors seemed more vibrant plus the coralifes i had were wonky and didnt last nearly as long as my ATI's. I guess it really depends on what corals if any, you are wanting to keep. At 50% off, it might be worth the spend if you can justify the $ upgrade in switching to something else these don't work.

We had Giesmann, went to ATI. My next system will be Giesmann.

I started with coralife (due to fixture) and switching to ATI's was onee fo the single best improvments I have made to my 75 gallon reef tank!

If your reef is good with happy corals then stay with the ATI's.
No, not all brands are the same.

Same here. Tried ATI just to see, but they are not as bright.

These are led bulbs that fit right into your t5 fixture. They are interested I've tried them in the past. Great pop
