New UV Lighting (URI) T5's Available For Pre-Order!

Jeremy,
What would be a good combo of bulbs for a 6x 54W over a 90G?

What I have been using is
(2) Aquablue
(3) Blue+
(1) GE day or 3rd Aquablue

The UVL shows Super Actinic R, Actinic White 12K, and AquaSun 10K

What would be the combo for a crisp white/ a bit on the blue side, with good florescence and good growth? I don't want a purple look like some VHO setups I've seen.

Can you post some pics that are representative of what they look like?

Thanks!
 
The new URI T5 spectrum is the same as their VHO choices. super actinic, actinic white, and sun. Sun are best for growth, actinic white are nice for color, and super actinic are the blues. I think 2, 2, and 2 would work nicely but you can mix them up how you see fit.
 
When I used to run all VHO's I did four lamps of two actinic white and two actinic blue for a tank that looked a little more on the "blue" side. The bad thing about the Aquasuns is they can appear a little pink at times. Having said that, it can be offset with more actinic or the actinic white as well.
 
This is still just a preorder. We have confirmed we will be receiving one of the first batches shipped, and shoud hopefully have lamps in hand by the end of next week, or very soon after.
 
I spoke with UVL earlier this week and they were still on schedule for shipping us out this week, however I am not sure if it has left their facility yet though. We should still be shipping out in the 3-4th wk of this month time frame.

Thanks!
Jeremy
 
So what's makes the release of these so anticipated? Just the price? It's close to time to replace my ATI/Sunlight's (4x54w) and I'll be coming to you guys to get them (only 45-50 minutes away)

So what's the scoop?
 
They're T5 bulbs that can be over driven. They also produce the same spectrum as the URI/UVL VHO's. The price is also a nice factor. We did get some in stock, but are still waiting for 24" and 36" actinics I believe.
 
As of right now there are no plans for a 60" version, however that's not to say they are never going to make one. Sorry we could not help with that.
 
T5 plus ocean runner

I am intrestid in the new T5 please provide a little more info are they brighter more spectrum or both I have a T5 setup instead of MH on my 200 gallon so far I like them I replaced my mh with the T5. I have 14 39 watts bulbs with about a 65k 10k and 20k range if I orderd one set what would you say I would benefit the most on I currently have allot of lps but I am like everybody seems to converting to sps coral.

2nd question I have a ASM G3 I have heard that the ocean runner is a better pump then sedra I would like to know if it is a easy convert to the ocean runners I am looking at to pumps in you catalog.

Would a pair of 4' UV T5's outperform a pair of 72" URI VHO's?

I'm not sure how you can really quantify or compare since your talking two different sizes.
