Ati hybrid

[emmaleegrech]

I'm looking at the ATI hybrid t5 +led lights. Anyone have any experience with these? What are your thoughts? And what do you think is best for a 3 ft by 3 ft frag tank? I'm currently using led's my tank is mainly zoanthids and lps.

I think that LEDs are pretty successful with LPS and Zoas. The Hybrid powermodule is amazing. Love mine. I am using the 36" 8 bulb fixture and have been for about 3 months. I am not sure I would spend so much on a frag tank light for LPS and Zoas though.

Thanks! And do you think for a tank that size the 4 bulb 4 clusters one would be good or the 8 bulb 4 cluster one?

For 3' by 3', you would just have to choose 4 or 8 T5 bulbs. The 36" fixture only comes with 2 LED clusters. With the 3' front to back I would do the 8 bulb as I have the 8 on my 2' tank and think it is perfect.

IMO any hybrid lighting is best for home aquariums. Whether it be T5/MH, T5/Led, or led/MH. But for a tank of all softys and Lps, I think LEDs are fine. IME, Sps are usually the picky corals that really benefit from having the t5/led lighting.

If u decide to go with the ATI fixture, I would def do the 8bulb. IMO, 36" is too wide for only 4 bulbs.
