The Grim Reefer
Ready for some NOBALL!!!
did you mean : 6 blue +
2 aqua blue +
2 purple + ?
yeah
did you mean : 6 blue +
2 aqua blue +
2 purple + ?
Troptray, What would you recommend instead of the GE6500?
Ive had several ATI fixtures on my previous reef tanks with a 3 to 1 (Blue plus to Fiji purple color) and loved the color
I want to supplement my current set up for dawn and dusk, got a Radium 250 set up on a lumatek electronic ballast set to 250 watts on a Hamilton large pendant.
I have 3 LED ecoxotic panorama pros royal blue and magenta leds which are a little to dim for dawn and dusk on my 240g 48x48x24 cube set up.
Would like to add maybe 4 T5s (2 on each side of the pendant) Gonna use sunlight supply ready fit T5 retros.
8am LEDs ON
9am T5s ON
11am Radium ON
4pm Radium OFF
6pm T5s OFF
7pm LEDs OFF
Would I go 2 Blue plus and 2 Purple plus?

I'd do 3 Blue Plus and 1 Purple
Not much fixture for a 65 tall. I'd replace all the lamps.
Blue Plus
Purple Plus
Blue Plus
GE 6500K
Blue Plus
Blue Plus
Grim you suggested a 3 to 1 ratio, how or what can I do with my set up? I would like to keep 2 bulbs on each side or something like that
Here is a pic of my set up...

Is that the order of the bulbs I should in the fixture from front to back or just the bulbs I should add in no particular order?
I'm setting up a 40g breeder (36"x18"x16") as a grow out/frag tank for softies, LPS and SPS. I have decided on T5's...either the 36" Tek or Tek Elite fixture.
a.) what would be best, 4 or 6 bulbs at 39w each?
b.) What would your bulb recommendation be?
Thanks!!

I just replaced led to go back to t5. I have two fixtures on my 90g. 2 bulb fixture in front and four bulb in the back. Must stay this way in order to look good. I just purchased
4 blue plus
1 purple plus
1 ge 6500
What order should they be put in the fixtures front to back. Thanks Mike
Hi guys
It is time to change my bulbs. I have a 8x54W ATI Sunpower and have recently been using KZ bulbs:
2 x KZ New Generation
1 x KZ Fiji Purple
3 x KZ Super Blue
2 x KZ Coral Light
My retailer only sells ATI bulbs now so this is what I am looking at. I would like a combo a little more blue and a tad more red/pink than the above.
Do you think that a combo of these ATI bulbs will be okay?:
2 x Coral Plus
4 x Blue Plus
2 x Purple Plus
Should be close to what you are looking for. Grab an extra Blue Plus just in case. If it isn't blue enough for you pull a coral plus and throw the extra Blue Plus in it's place.
Thanks a lot! I will give that a try. :beer:
Any recommendations on how to place them front to back?
