T5

[gabelex14]

I'm starting to put together a list of items for a Six foot SPS system. I've been looking into getting some T-5 lights but am having a hard time finding a good website/store to get them from. Anyone have some suggestions? I'm in the northeast Ohio area, about an hour in between Cleveland and Columbus

T5s are basically dead so stock is limited all over. BRS has quite a few 60” bulbs in stock currently and they have a Giesemann Stellar 60” in Open Box for half off

I pretty much buy them from whatever reputable company has them in stock and uses PayPal

for T5 I buy the fixtures from HTG Supply and the bulbs from the coralvue outlet website, 9 bucks a piece.

T5 and Kalk, blows my former LED fixtures away for SPS.

I've heard a lot about metal halides as well for sticks. Seems like more of those are still being produced

Yes Aquabright solutions still makes them.

I would look into Quanta lights. If you want the LED version of halide and T5's, then the Atlas with meso blue helix bars are the way to go. As an old school halide/vho guy, this combo is awesome and grows acropora like crazy. The Atlas is based off of an Ushio ED 14k bulb and the meso blue is virtually the blue+ and vho actinic in one. Ask anyone who uses Quanta lights and they'll say the same thing, they're simply awesome!

Nit to pick, Aquabrite doesn't make bulbs.

ATI just restocked bulbs and I purchased a ton. They go quick, so have a site like BRS send a restock reminder if they don't have what you want in stock.
