    My friend accidently broke my aquarium light the other day while we were breaking down my 75g tank and getting my 150g tank set up.

    The specs on the light that was broke are 48" 4ft T5 216w (below is a picture of the light). I need alittle help in finding where I should go to replace the bulbs, or what kind of bulbs should I get? All the numbers that they give out are kind of confusing to me.

    As a side note I am not into the hard corals I do mostly soft corals. An I will be getting another one of these lights to go on the 150g

    They are about $20 a bulb, but alot of people like the ATI bulbs. In fact, that is what most replace the factory bulbs for that fixture with. If it were me I would go 2 ATI blue+ 2 ATI aquablue specials, or 2 Blue+ 1AqBlue Spec and 1 Purple+.

    Hope this helps.
