Hey everyone I need some suggestions and input on my hybrid light fixture configuration. Im looking at getting an Aquatic Life 36" HYBRID T5HO 4X39W FIXTURE from brs for my 40 gallon breeder build. This tank will be a mixed reef tank with softies and LPS and maybe some easier sps eventually.


I'd love to hear some suggestions and inputs on what T5 bulbs would be best to run and why.

Also I would love to hear your thoughts on which LED light would be best to add as well. I'm leaning more towards a Kessil or AI prime configuration.

Thanks for your help!

Evening and welcome to your first post.

I would run 2 Ati coral + and 2 Ati blue +, or blue + and purple. I am more familiar with AI but both would work. The T5 gives a nice eye appeal and the led helps with par.

I just ordered two blue+ and two Coral+ for the exact same fixture. Kessil 360we in the center.
