I bought this used. It has 3 400 watt radium bulbs on hamilton electronic ballasts. And 4 80w t5s. What t5s are good in these with radiums? Love the color of radium!

Thanks. Im pretty happy with it sp far. I replaced my led that just didnt look realistic to me. Too "chromatic" or something.Depends on how you want to use the fixture.
If you use most of the photoperiod with T5s you could use some of the "white" bulbs, like the ATI Coral Plus and such, with ATI Blue Plus. Or you could have 4 ATI Blue Plus bulbs. That is what I do. Another option is to have 2 ATI Blue Plus and 2 ATI True Actinic bulbs.
I've never tried Hamilton bulbs, but they should also work.
It doesn't matter what combination you choose. The combination of halide/T5 will all offer the best for your system! Congratulations! Cebu is a great fixture.

I use the t5s for 12 hours for dusk to dawn effect mainly. And the radiums are on just for 5 hours. Im thinking of geisman bulbs because they are on sale where i live right now. Not sure if geisman is any good.
Ha! Chromatic is good adjective to describe some LEDs!Thanks. Im pretty happy with it sp far. I replaced my led that just didnt look realistic to me. Too "chromatic" or something.

Too bad they stopped producing that fixture. The reef and planted tank communities use Teks for a long time. It was a great option for those who liked to place the fixture on the tank, instead hanging from ceiling.Love.my giessman bulbs. Im using 8 bulb tek light. Only bulb im not using is the coral+
