Euroquatics e5 Bulbs

[Shep]

So I was looking to replace a few of my T5 bulbs with their LED replacement bulbs but both MD and BRS did not have them in stock and MD told me they were being discontinued from their website. Anyone know why these bulbs seem to be already off the market?

There not...
Marine depot is just not carrying them.. I have seen them other places.
Plus they are a sponsor here.

Hello Shep,
We have chosen to stop selling to Marine Depot after poor attempts to work out simple things like terms and conditions and following MAP guidelines. Presently BRS does not offer our bulbs but may soon in the future. You be able to get these from Aquarium Specialty or if you like you can support your local LFS and have them contact us at [email protected] and we can set them up an account. if you have any other questions feel free to contact me.
Thanks
Richard.

We currently have inventory on several SKUs and more of what we are waiting on should be here by the end of next week according to Richard from Euroquatics.

Thank you,

I haven’t heard of anybody using these anymore.

I use them, they are ok.. I think something like a reefbrite probably does better. They provide a little more pop than a actinic t-5.

We still have a lot of happy customers, and there are a lot of people waiting for the shipment of the new E5X that will be in the US soon. (the stock is assembled and packed here on a few pallets for pick up).

That's refreshing to hear!

Nice looking forward to seeing these. What is the difference?

Can you tell me more about the e5x? What changes have been made? Thanks!

I'd like to learn more about the new ex5's also. Will they work in an ati sun power fixture?

^This. It does give out more pop than a standard actinic bulb. Most of my corals did fine and they didn't mind although I supplement them with a 10k bulb. I wouldn't mind trying out 2x blue pop and 2x blue daylight (which reminds me of blue+)
