Aquatic Life Debuts LED/T5HO Hybrid Mounting System Fixture Reef Hobbyists Have Been Waiting For!

A Dual lamp model would be awesome

We are working on a 13" narrow version that would keep the four lamps and allow the user to use A160 and a 16" version that would allow the A360 and or the AI Prime.

We have looked into the dual lamp and there is not really any savings as we still would need to use two ballast. So we figured keep the lamps and narrow the center.

What LED would you like to use or are you using?

A single Kessil A360. I can always use two lamps out of the four .

The T5 lamps will work as pairs so it would be the front two or the back two.

I’m definitely interested in the 16”x48” version for my three A360we’s

When will additional LED brackets be available?

So this fixture just needs the t5 bulbs and leds added right? I like the idea. I wonder if it will work with 16" sb reef lights or black boxes.....?

Thanks, this is helping me a lot. Trying to determine the combinations is a little difficult but I'm getting there.

We will have them with the product launch in the next two weeks.

Just needs to have top mounting and fit within the width of the opening. The original 18" has a little over 7" now but the new end plates and LED mounting bracket will have a space around 12.25".

Thank you. Do you know which vendors/distributors specifically?

We will be giving the information to all the vendors this week. I would check with Marine Depot and Bulk Reef Supply to have them first.

I pre-ordered the 48 inch version from BulkReefSupply.

I was about to order some aluminum to make a DIY rack for my Red Sea Reefer 350 which is a rimless aquarium when @pelphrey sent me an article about this fixture. I'm glad he did and I can't wait to get it.

Thank you. Let us know if you have any questions.

I really wish you would have done 4 bulb ballast with only one power cord. Makes for less plugs overall. With Radion XR15w's I will be using those for the dawn and dusk parts of the cycle and have no need to power just the front or back T5 units separately.

And where do they run all the wiring for that?

Hallow the side brackets (square ones). I was going to make my own with square or U track pieces before I saw this one and that is essentially what I was going to do. However, I was going to put the ballast in the cabinet since it would be a retrofit job.

What would be the best way to hang this if the hanging bracket aren’t available without having to hang them from a ceiling.

Conduit piping attached to your stand. You just need the pipe and a bender.

That was a tougher bend. Most the time I just do two pipes and bend them into an L.
