Any ATI T5 users left ? I think Im going back to T5 from Radions

[eggie]

I miss the T5 looks and growth.

I have 2 Radions XR15 in a 36x21x20 tank 65 gallons

I got nice colors some corals looking shaded in the bottom and some not getting good PAR.
300 PAR the most running at 85%

Not looking into hybrid as it adds more cords and the cost is not effective when I could sell my Radions and get a T5 fixture for the same price

I'll run mine until I can't get bulbs anymore!

 

[Dburr1014]

I just bought some bulbs.
I'll wire them in when my new tank comes next week. Going to pair it with my Reefbreeders fixture.

Two tanks with 8 bulb ati. Switched from leds. Will never look back. The growth in my sps exploded the first month I switched.

I switched from a pair of XR15's back to my ATI T5 6x24 watt fixture on my 66 gallon mixed reef.
I'm currently just running the 4 bulb channel with 3 Blue Plus and 1 Coral Plus.
I'm also using a pair of Reef Brite XHO blues.

T5 until the stop making them or something like the AI blade is half of its current price.

It does seem like your 6x39 has been discontinued.

FWIW I had outstanding success with a 6x24 over a 40 breeder. Your tank is a bit deeper but if you tossed in an aqua blue special that would punch up the PAR quite a bit.

I've used this fixture over my 66 gallon tank that is 32" long x 24" wide off and on for about 6 years.
I tried a CoralCare gen 2 fixture over it for a while. Went back to the T5 fixture when a friend wanted my extra pair of CC fixtures.
Had the Radions on it, but I just hated Mobius. I got used to how easy ESL was and couldn't really adapt to Mobius.
I don't have any current pictures.

If you are local to Sacramento county ca I would give you my 36" Giesemann 36" unit. It looks new and is in great shape. Anyone local to my area is welcome to come pick it up. I also have a new 48'" aquaticlife hybrid with around 10 new bulbs I would give someone.
I have no way to ship though.
Pm me if anyone is interested.
Cant beat the price $0, lol.
Couple pics.

I use 2 of the ATI 8x54 watts on my tank.

I recently ordered the Great Barrier Turquoise bulb which is very difficult to get. It’s a cyan spectrum.

I love how customizable T5 are. I also like how you can add UV (400-420nm) and not need to worry about the lights breaking (like many LEDS).

T5 for life!

What effect are you going for with the Great Barrier Turquoise bulb?

I have been a T5 user since I switched from Power Compacts in about 2010 or 11. 6 bulb Tek fixture. They don't make them anymore, but they were nice. A few years ago, I had to replace one of the ballasts for about 30 bucks. About a month ago, I had to replace the other ballast. It was more expensive and harder to find this time around.

I run a mix of ATI and Geisemann bulbs.

 

[DDenny]

I used to run T5 retro fit in a hood over my old 40g breeder. Have been thinking of going to back to a 6x24 over my 25g lagoon but that is probably way overkill. cant find a 4x24 anywhere. What bulb compbinations are you all running.

Where do you live. I have a knack for finding information usually or finding a starting point. Could send email since disconinuing as well. See if they can drop a bit to offset shipping.
