Vivo sun 6500k t5 spectrum?

[LEGACYLINE]

What do you think of the vivoun 6500k? Does the spectrum look ok? It looks similar to the geisman tropics bulbs but I'm not sure maybe some of the t5 guru can chime in I was thinking about running this c ok mbo in my 6 bulb to see if I can maximize growth a bit what would be your thoughts? Thank you

3x 6500k
1x figi pink
2x blue plus ???

I’ve never ran them in my fixture, but why not give it a try? I’ll give you a bump maybe someone else has!

Thanks you maybe someone can chime in they match the geisman spectrum fairly close so I'd imagine they would be ok

If you really want to grow, the 6500k lamps are perfect, but don't use a pink bulb. Replace with another blue plus and your combination will be perfect! I would recommend using a pink bulb if you use 8 T5.
Hope this helps.

Why no pink? To much red overload ? I'm sure the 6500k have enough red ...

 

[carrico]

Exactly! Although the pink lamp has a large part of blue as well, the red will already be supplied by the 6500k lamps.

What if I was to do a combo like this ? To much red? ..I'm one if those that like a bright tank ..I'm in that small group that I really do not like the blue bulbs ...

I am also part of this group, I like the aquarium near the midday light. In my reef I use a hybrid system of radion and T5. I use 4 T5 (2 blue plus and 2 aquablue special). I've been studying for a few years about the wavelength and the color combination that most promotes coral development. If I could give you a configuration suggestion it would be the following, imagining your system with 6 T5.

#1
aquablue special
blue plus
aquablue special
aquablue special
blue plus
aquablue special


#2
aquablue special
coral plus
aquablue special
coral plus
aquablue special
coral plus

#3
Blue plus
6500k
Blue plus
6500k
Blue plus
6500k

Its combination of 6500k and 10k lamps will make the aquarium extremely yellow, naturally promoting coral development, but perhaps the appearance will not be very natural.

Great thank you

Can’t imagine it would be much different from the giesemann tropic bulb or GE 6500k bulb, which many people have success with. I am running two of the giesemann bulbs along with two ATI aqua blue special bulbs in my hybrid fixture with kessils.
