Where to buy ATI bulbs

Where can I buy ATI T5 bulbs?

Also, would this configuration give me a white look w/ good PAR?

Blue+
Midday
Aquablue
Blue+

Thanks,
Vishboy

I think that configuration will give you more of a blue look.

That's okay, as long as it isn't overpowering blue. With this configuration of bulbs, will I have enough PAR to keep a clam at the bottom of an 18" deep tank?

Didn't see any ATI bulbs at reefgeek. Maybe they stop selling them? I seem to remember someone saying that ATI was bought out by another company ...

Did you like look at the banner advertising ATI's lamps on reefgeeks home page?

Premium aquatics may have them too

ATI doesn't do halide lamps. At least not that I've ever heard of.

uh yeah, no problem witha clam on the bottom- given you use proper reflectors.

i have 3x39 over my 35g, and i can grow sps,a nd clams on the bottom. actually, its too much light for many lower light corals such as hammers and torch

Pemiumaquatics does have ATI bulbs.

I'm assuming that the Aqua 60/40 is equivelent to Aquablue, and the Blue is the same thing as Blue+.

Last question, then I will go away.

Does the aquablue=Aqua60/40 and does the Blue=Blue+ (On Premium Aquatics)?

Blue Plus is a 20K blue lamp, Aquablue is nearly white.

I know, but Premium aquatics doesn't carry a lamp by the name of Blue+ or the Aquablue. They do however, carry a Aqua 60/40 (maybe an aquablue?) and a blue (maybe a blue+?).
