2ft 4 bulb t5 cpmbo

[Steven Garland]

So I am setting up a simple sps tank 24"x10"x10" and going to be running a Tek 4 bulb fixture.

Does anyone have any experience or pics of this combo: Giesemann 2x Actinic Blue,1 Aquacoral Blue and 1 Super Actinic ? I ordered all these bulbs already but also have a B+,C+ and 2 GE 6500k's I can use as well. But just wanted so see if anyone was running this combo or close to this combo so I can get a idea of what it will look like also if anyone has any par numbers that would be great too.

I use ATI, 2 blue+, 1 coral plus, and 1 purple plus. I just have a t-5 fixture, and this combo has worked very well for me. Hope this helps!

I have always used 2 B+,1 Actinic and 1 C+ from ATI but wanting to try Giesemann and looking for bulb combo's from them.

Hey Steve,
I have always like a 50/50 mix of B+ and C+ This mix works really well with the addition of reefbars, sb reef has inexpensive one that will mount on your fixture, it will help tank with pop, but still put out good light, even if only one mounted in front.

In the 2 bulb fixture I have at the moment I am running 1 B+ and 1 C+ and its nice. Going with Giesemann I think I am going to run 2 Actinic Blue,1 Super Actinic 1 Aquablue Coral and see how that fairs and if anything I have 2 GE 65k's I can swap the ABC out for but I am afraid it might be purpleish.

StevesLed's sells a supplemental strip with Luxeon Rebel Royal's for $120. I have spoke with Jeff from there and he said he can swap out as many as needed with Viosys hyper violets. Which I like the idea of because its Luxeon led's vs Epiled's that everyone else runs in their bars so better par,spectrum,efficiency than literally everyone other than maybe ReefBrite.

Welcome back to the hobby man. Old account got hacked and someone started to use it to sell off some stuff and tried to scam people so they trashed it. I made the switch to t5 and haven’t looked back since doing it.

You won’t know what you are getting through pics.

Keep the 6500k bulbs rocking

Agree with the 6500. That’ll get the corals to take off. Just make sure to keep algae under control cause you’ll be able to see it easier.
