Good morning lovers of rocks and fish. The dangers of following lots of threads and meeting lots of great people hit me today. @crusso1993 posted a sick deal on aquatic life 48 hybrid light in @Katrina71 thread and so being weak and easily swayed jumped on the deal! 66% off woulda been loosing money not getting it! Thank you my friends for giving me someone to blame :p
For anyone else looking for a 48 inch hybrid here’s ya link

well I used PayPal they have pretty good consumer protection if you call them... never had any issues winning against shady companies....

 

[thejuice24]

Usually slap a PayPal complaint against them they respond real fast..... and magically you get a tracking number in hours....

 

[Raege]

Yeah I was happy it's a paypal transaction . Really want to get these lights cooking on tank. Now going crazy on bulb choice. Don't want to much blue like euro style but enough

I love these lights! Already have two 36" over my frag tanks.

I know there’s a whole lot more to it than lighting but a hard core T5 guy I see growing some of the most colorful stuff uses a couple of the purple plus bulbs in his 8 bulb fixture. I never tried one when I had T5’s and stuck with the Blue+ and true Actinic.

 

[Raege]

here are my bulb thoughts so far. Any input appreciated
true actinic
purple plus
coral plus
aqua blue special

Aqua blue special is a harsh tube ime, my corals hated it.

 

[Scurvy]

Aqua blue special is also similar to the Coral+ being a whiter Full spectrum. I would choose Coral+ over Aquablue.

Thank SImon! I chose it for the less blue quality/ Any thoughts to replace?

2 coral pluses in fixture or 1 and a different flavor as it was already on my list

Good comments, so far, but I will ask the goofy question. What do you want to achieve with the added T5s? I ask because some shoot for maximum growth, some for maximum color, some for tank appearance and some for a combination of two or all three.
