What T5 Bulbs?

[Tony Romano]

I want to add some T5s to my setup, primary goal is to bridge gap in sunrise/set. currenty i have LED to PC blue to MH. The PC could go away or stay. Away would be better.

Talk to Todd at cherry corals for bulbs

 

[Tony Romano]

Every time I talk to him it cost me hundreds of dollars....

And the issue is??

Tony, I have the Aqua Science bulbs in stock in all wattages. More on the way as our resident Fauna Expert Vinny says they are the bomb and I agree!

I just tried out the Ultra Science 22k and they are SUPER blue, the 15k are a nice white bulb. Going to pop in the DUO bulbs and see how 2 15k, 2 22k, and 2 DUO look over some corals today.

Tony, give the AquaScience bulbs a try. From my experience, these bulbs especially the AS Blue 22k has brought out colors more intense than the ATI bulbs.
With these bulbs, a Profilux controller, and the UltraLith system, it's a recipe for success!

 

[Tony Romano]

What vendor do you use for AS bulbs?

 

[ReefRockerLive]

Now that Cherry Corals has AS bulbs, I'll be buying through Todd.

Tony, check it out. All nice and organized.

I decided to work on the site instead of setting up my WLAN. I will do that another day if I find time.

I have all bulbs in stock now, which would you like to try? What color are you going for?

Maybe a shot of a coral with a few different combos would be a good way to showcase these bulbs? I will work on that.

transition to daylight (MH) from LED. Replaceing 03 PC lights if possible.

Just playing with level funtions, well thought out stuff.

 

[Harry_Fish]

Todd,

I can run 6 bulbs

What combo would give me a good spread to really bring out the colors?

Thank you

 

[Stoneyscoral]

Harry, I think 2 22k, 2 15k, and 2 DUO would do the trick.

They are nice bulbs and from those who use them they hold their brightness for a long time.
