Aquatic Life T5

[RDewhurst2]

So I purchased a aquatic life T5 HO 48” light yesterday. Replaced bulbs today so I knew they are good with 3 blue plus bulbs and one 10k bulb as suggested at a coral show today. Any advice or features about this light that would be helpful. It is on my 6 foot long 125 gallon mostly zoa and Acan tank with some Kenya tree and 2 green bubble tips. Looking for growth and color.

. Looking for growth and color.

Arent we all.

Joking aside. Run it 8-10 hours a day. Change the bulbs every 12-18 months. Leave it alone outside of that. T5’s have virtually no learning curve

I had 2 four foot fluval led strips before this. Already see the zoas opening up better

I use my LED's for the ramp up and down, and I stage on my T5's. The first stage from 10 to 3 and the 2nd from 11 to 2. It will change as my tank matures and the SPS grow out. I use 2 ATI Blue+, 1 Purple+, and one Coral+. I had a 48in Aquatic Life fixture on my 120 gal tank and now I have a a 61in on my 225 tank.
