ATI Hybrid Fixture
 

Its been almost a year and Im looking at getting new T5 bulbs for my fixture. Just wondering what kind of popular combinations anyone is using out there right now. Im leaning towards a little less white and more blue to bring out the colour or my corals and fish. I have four T5 bulbs in my hybrid fixture....

ATI blue plus is an awesome tube. Lots of par too.

Would you do all Blue plus or a combination?

I do 3 blue + and one coral plus. Blues do what blues do and the coral plus balances out with a little white/pink to give it nice color. The again if it's a hybrid with LEDs, the LEDs should do that. I am all t5's.

Sounds like an idea!

I find if I just use all blue + my yellows and red looks dingy and dirty, the coral plus makes them look normal and brings out the reds nicely.

I run four ATI 39 watt Blue Plus. They supplement my three 14K halides. If I had the ATI hybrid fixture I would probably do the same as I'm doing now. Use the LEDs for growth spectrum and T5s for looks (fluorescent pop).

Having said that, I would have thought that the blue LEDs would give you that fluorescent pop as well.

The blue plus doesn't come close to royal blue led for pop.

Any thoughts on Blue + combo and Actinic? Still gathering ideas...

Maybe playing a little more with the LEDs would help as well. I find the program on the ATI is not as user friendly as the Ecotech Radios.
