In 2012 the federal government deemed all T12 lamps illegal except for specialty lamps. Today I can walk into my local Home depot and find a T12 cool white.

I grew my first acro colony in 2001 with that same set-up. It was brown as heck, but still proudLoved my Icecap 660 with 4xT12 setup.

As this says general lighting which means in a business or home but not specialty. all most all T-8 and all T-5 used for general lighting meet the requirements. I would not even use T-12 for general lighting any more.It seems T8 and T5 need to meet efficiency requirements (lm/watt) to continue production. I have not seen the lumen specs for the ATI Blue Plus but their own response seems to indicate they meet the minimum govt. requirements. This blog says most T5 meet it, but they do not say all.
New T8 Fluorescent Lamp Regulations Take Effect January 2018 from @Topbulb
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 gave the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) authority to establish energy efficiency rules governing general service fluorescent lighting. In 2012, the DOE standards effectively eliminated most T12 fluorescent lamps and 700 series, low color rendering (CRI below 80) T8...www.topbulb.com
Glad to hear that just ordered 1 kessil a360x to try out with my aquatic life t5 hybrid cant wait to see what it does have to order 2 more if I'm happy as it's going on a 6ft 220 galI have kessill 360x supplemented with blue+ t5s. I'm as happy as my clam...
You will love that Combo. I love the Kessil for Color but hate the Shimmer (Shimmer is nice, but not all day), so the T5's solve that issue, and together there is nothing better (for me).Glad to hear that just ordered 1 kessil a360x to try out with my aquatic life t5 hybrid cant wait to see what it does have to order 2 more if I'm happy as it's going on a 6ft 220 gal
I'm really excited to get it. Coming in tomorrow my dad has the a360we and I absolutely love his tank. My tank needed more power so I think these will be perfect. Might look into the narrow lens to due to mine being 30in deep. But with the t5s and being a mixed reef the standard lens may workYou will love that Combo.

This my man, this. And I love when these LED kids mock running VHO tubes. I've got a radion, and it's a pretty sweet light - but VHOs, unless you've seen it....Even though most people who still use them have tried other things, you will have to pry their VHOs out of their cold dead hands because they have seen what they can do.
