ATI T5 Aquarium Bulbs - English

2 24w blue+ and 2 24w coral + were recommended to me.

 

WOW !! thats great! thanks man does it come with the bulbs? and im new to all of this so what are ATI bulbs?

Did you order it from amazon also?

 

I would agree if you are not ready to build, temp is not an issue, and you are probably not paying the bills(I hope) a T5 is a better option in that price range for now...are you in a rush?

 

Yep. Ordered from that same company selling them on Amazon. They come with 2 10,000 k and 2 actinic bulbs. They are stock bulbs and not great quality. I still have my stock in and am slowly seeing growth. ATI is a company that produces the best bulbs around. In short, the stock bulbs don't promote as great photosynthesis as ATI and thus, significantly less growth. Change them out slowly as you get cash, no rush.

 

Not really in a rush but will like to get some growth from the money ive used to buy corals and yea its my own money used from doing the lawn and cleaning cars, i know my parents can give me money but they are on a money budget and i dont want them to struggle

But yea, ill order that one from amazon and use stock bulbs until i can upgrade to the ATI bulbs

Thanks everyone that helped ! i Appreciate it greatly because I was gonna buy the Single light LED and now im buying a better system and surely will get better growth !

Ill update the tank when the fixture arrives and when I install it !

AGAIN, THANK YOU

Yoel

 

Awesome. Good luck to you. I suggest keeping your room fan on during the day so your tank doesn't keep into the 82-84 range. But like I said, you will really want those ATI bulbs and I would stick with the combo I mentioned earlier- they are tried and true. Replace one a week if you can afford it. It's more in the long run but less at a particular time. It also will allow your coral to slowly adjust.

 

Yea, ill try until i can get all four

I have a small fan and ill put it close to the lighting to keep it cool

Thanks again, Ill message you when it arrives and ill post pictures

Another question... How long did it take?

 

Another option is to save up and buy a disable LED off of Ebay for $170 with free shipping. I may be getting 2 for my 55 gallon. You will spend about that much on the t5 unit ($60+shipping) and ATI bulbs ($80+shipping). The LED will need to get hung off the ceiling. You wont have to worry about heat and ur parents will spend less on electricity.

 

It was a birthday gift. I'd so no more than 5 business days.

 

Ceiling cant be done cause i have it under a permanent shelf..
But is the heat and electricity that much ?! cause if not i wont order it.. i mean i wanna know before i buy it from a person who uses it
