LED / T5 hybrid - What T5s do you like?

[Aquaman102]

I'm going to add a T5 fixture to my existing LEDs. Curious what T5 lights to get. It's a 4 bulb setup. Mainly interested in promoting growth, but not a super white light. Maybe some ATI blue plus bulbs?

ATI Blue+ have been proven to put out the most par. It's what I run and it has a great combination of blue and a hint of white light.

I run 3 blue+, and 1 Coral+. You will not regret the addition of T5 with he LED's.

I added 8 48" T5 to my 6 Radion G4 Xr30 pros over my 96x30x24 tank via the hybrid fixture. Even with the overly blue A/B+ profile I found that going with 8 ATI blue + made the most difference (tried purple + and actinic combos prior).

I wish I could it made a drastic improvement but i'm still not sure. I still have shadowing issues and while my LEDs have better spread higher up my T5 seem in-effective when more than 12 inchs off the water.

My 65g is running the AquaticLife 36" t5 hybrid fixture with all four bulbs being ATI Blue+.

My LEDs are two AI Prime HD's with a custom tune for a high noon effect.

I'm growing SPS, LPS, chalices, zoas, etc.
