Bulbs for aquatic life 6 bulb fixture

[jasimek]

I bought this light a few months ago. My rock has been turning whitish and the purple coralline algae that I had has faded or disappeared. I think I may need to change out my bulbs. I was thinking of the ati bulbs. Any suggestions on what to buy? The light has a built in timer for white, blue and moonlight.

...there is a HUGE T5 Q&A thread....its a great reads if/when you get time

but if memory serves me, this was a very popular question and I saw it a lot:
I wanna say Grims & RT's recommendation was 3 ATI Blue, 1 KZ new Gen, 1 ATI purple plus and one GE 6500K (or was one of the last 3 a ATI Blue special?) .....

...I dunno, I could be wrong, and I'm only offering up the above just in case you get no replies

I love my ATI bulbs

I have that same fixture running T-5’s and I use all ATI but one.

4 ATI aqua blue plus
1 ATI purple plus
1 GE 65,000k Daylight

This is the color it produces and if you like the combination I can give you the order from front to back when I get home.

I have the exact combination that Sport507 above has...I love the combination! Just the right amount of white and blue.

Yeah and that cell phone pic doesn't really do it justice. It's really beautiful with the naked eye.

The Purple Plue really pops the reds and greens too.

If you don't mind can I get the order for those lights. I have the same fixture and I was looking to get rid of the bulbs that came with the fixture

Which bulbs would I put where? I probably will keep the moonlight ones as is for now....obviously the two aqua blue would go in blue, but I'm confused about when the purple one is added in....to the white and then another white fixture?

Not a problem. Now from the front, which will say is the closest to the controller will be bulb one.

1 Blue +
2 Blue +
3 Purple +
4 Blue +
5 GE 65,000K white
6 Blue +

When you turn on the Blue button on the control panel 2 & 4 will come on both Blue +. In turn the White button turns on 1,3,5,6.

Hope this helps.

No the moonlights are LED's and you have 4 of those that cannot be moved.

Now please listen so you can get what you want if you like my set up. These aren't cheap.

ATI makes a bulb called the Aqua Blue Special (that not it) and it is a white bulb with a tent of blue you can't even see.

I'm taking about the bulb called BLUE PLUS the others are also called what I posted.

Yes you are correct about the LED's..my mistake. I was also mistaken when I said 6 light fixture as it is only a 4. Same options I am assuming for the replacement lights?
