My ATI T5 and Reefbrite have arrived and I am excited to put them up.

Still waiting for my Cadlights Tree light though.

While waiting, to those who have 6 bulb ATI T5, can you please post your light order from front to back and picture of your DT ?

I have 4 ATI blue plus, 1 Coral Plus, and 1 Purple Plus. Also, 1 Reefbrite XHO Blue Actinic.
 
Bump!

How do you like your Cadlights Tree? I’m thinking of purchasing one for my ATI 36” SunPower
 
I have a 36” ReefBrite Actinic XHO (custom ordered in the silver housing to match my ATI fixture) paired with my 6x39 non dimmable ATI Sunpower over my 57 gallon tank With 3 Blue Plus and 3 Coral Plus. I’m not a fan of the over saturated Windex blup look and prefer this combination. I also use the CadLights lamptree and am very satisfied with it. My buld layout is as follows...

Tank is fairly new at only 6 months and I just added a few acro frags about a month ago. You can check out my build thread HERE.

The CadLights lamptree works very well and is very easy to install. The silver finish of the lamptree pairs quite well and is quite aesthetically pleasing with the aluminum finish of the ATI T5 fixture.

Thanks. I have it installed but my impression of the lamp tree is not worth the price. Looks cheaply made and customer service is not that great and was like pulling teeth to get answers. Unfortunately I’m not going to be ordering any of their product line again

I don't have it assembled yet, so it just looks like a long cardboard box.

Geisemann bulbs: 2-6500K, 2-Aquablue+
2-Radion XR15 PRO's on either end.
1-Kessil A360WE Tuna Blue in the middle

Should have read the title of the thread better, 6 bulb, duh

Have you hung your fixture from it yet? Once you do, it stiffens up nicely. While it’s not made of the thickest material, the stainless steel finish does match quite well with the aluminum finish of the aluminum ATI fixtures. I also like the multiple height adjustments and fixture placement options which is not so easily replicated with a DIY option. As far as Cadlights goes, they known for notoriously bad customer service, but I bit the bullet anyway and am quite pleased with my Lamp Tree. I do plan to use it again as my light fixture hanger, should I upgrade to a larger tank In the future.
