Best T5 Bulb's?

[lbheyman]

I have a 36" Current fixture 39wX4 and one of the bulbs just burned out. Now that I need to replace it, I am just gonna do all four and be done with it. What are the best bulbs available? I did a search and could not come up with anything. Thanks.

ATI is widely considered the best. A nice combination for you would be 2x ATI Blue+, 1x ATI Aquablue, and 1 x UVL Actinic White. If you like a lot of blue go with another Blue + and skip the Actinic white.

Where is the best place to buy them online?

Don't forget Fiji purple and buy them at reefgeek.com. 2 blue plus, 1 aquablue, 1 Fiji would be money.

I would go with the Hamilton Tech T5 bulbs. The ones I saw looked really nice, especially the actinic.

Reefgeek.com is a great place for bulbs and was stated earlier ATI has nice stuff.

I found a side-by-side spectral comparison someone did on ATI vs Geisman (sp) and hands down, ATI is better. The only one that was nicer on Geisman was the 6500.
I searched for ATI vs Geuisman.
