Eric Alvarado Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Does someone know of a good reference for T5 lights and what to use them for? I have 4x54w - 2 actinic/2white builbs + 4x24w 2 actinic/2white bulbs on my 125. My 54w are stock bulbs, so was getting a look at the available light options to eventually replace the stock bulbs. I see a half a dozen options, but not sure what the application for each of the options might be. Been looking for a good reference for a while to no avail. I assume different types of livestock fair better under different lighting. I see the following types of T5 lights available. Red Wave Blue Wave Daylight 6.7k Super Daylight 12k Super Violet Wave Coral Growth Accelerator Whew, that's a lot of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekreefer Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 take a look at this: GrimReefer T5 Guide - par values . I went with 2 ATI Aquablue specials (12K) - and 2 Blue Plus (450 nm i think) and really like the results in coral growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
