E5 led/T5 lighting

[Euroquatics]

So it isn't just me having dimming issues with these in a Sunpower fixture, interesting...

Yeah, we have three official reports of dimming compatibility issues. However, at the moment we cannot recreat the issue, in fact in all the fixtures we've tried, it's worked great! It's still under investigation but k worry if we can't find a common thread it will be a hit an miss situation. :/ (dislike!)

We will continue to investigate!

We asking any customer with compatibility issues of any kind to email us at [email protected] with as much fixture info as possible. Make, model, size, age, etc...

Thanks for any info you can send if you've not already!

Just got my 8 bulb ATI
I have the Blue Pop and Warm Daylight in the middle and Blue + On each side. Looking forward to reporting how this combo works out.

Our high-power fixtures (Angel) have UV and as mentioned we're always working on new things!

I might have to look into that one. I had the same trouble as Paletta with a torch coral...seemingly perfectly healthy polyps progressively falling away from the skeleton.

My trouble is my budget...eerrrfff.

Just so you know the A1 (95W including UV) is $399.99 and the A1p (150W including UV) is $499.99. Can still be steep, but def more affordable than other options with lower power specs! (link no longer available)

Very nice! You may find that 1-2 more Blue Pop will make a huge difference to your tank. The Warm Daylight is a nice lamps for full spectrum input especially with that much blue in the mix!

Post a tank picture also when you can!

Side by side with blue plus both are ATI fixtures left with two blue plus and right with two blue pop.

My ATI fixture with the two blue pop two blue pluss and one coral plus. I used a filter to show the true color of the bulbs a little better

 

[Keithcorals]

Side by side with another fixture with the same bulb combo but with blue plus in place of the blue pop the tank with the blue pop has a crisper look and the corals do glow more under the blue pop even with the other 4 T5s on at the same time. I love the blue pop and will be getting more for my other fixture

Thanks for posting this.. It's a very good and solid way to get a real idea of the difference the blue pops will make..

Thanks again

I'm just curious.. Are you distributing to any other supplier besides marine depot? I cannot say that I'm very happy with them and this situation, and honestly, I never have been.. That's just me.. Are there any alternative sources that the bulbs can be ordered from?

Thanks again

The short answer is yes.

Other outlets will start to get stock soon. Our site will likely have a new dealer locator in the coming months, but for now if you contact your favorite shop or online vendor let them know you'd like to buy from you E5s from them.

On a side note, I know not everyone can be happy with on company or another, but I will say that the team at MD has done well on the E5 launch for us and overall the customer response has been good as far as that go. I'm sorry that's not been your experience!

We'll announce new dealers as they come online mainly via FaceBook.

Ditto

Which series of the white light do you guys like? Or are you both running the blue pops? I'm thinking the cool day light for my next row. I have 4 rows total so, I have room to play around with the bulbs. I think one row of blue pops is sufficient.

I put one blue pop in my 8 bulb ATI and left it in the fixture for 1week. I started to bleach all of my high end chalices. I will not be using this bulb anymore.

How were you not bleaching chalices before with an eight bulb ATI fixture over chalices ? That's a lot of light. Not being negative just never seen chalices kept under so much light

 

[purplereef]

It worked out very well with ATI bulbs.
