EUROQUATICS E5 LEDT5

[gobytron]

As above...
Running 1 blue pop and 1 blue daylight.

Finally finished transferring 2 RSM130 into 1 RSM250 but I managed to mount my aquaray (5 x 3w Cree royals blues) and am now very, very happy with the color.

So i think I'm just gonna save the dough and run 4 t5's, 2 e5's and my aquaray.

If I find my heat is way up, I may get into some more e5's.

ah thanks. im going to jl his week hopefully they can show me what blue daylight looks like cause I cant find any videos online and blue pop just seems too blue for my settings.

I would think the Kessils you run have a way nicer blue than these offer anyways.

Have a look at the Euroquatics website for spectral info...

the blue form the kessil is awesome. However at 100 % blue from the kessils & my current setup of 1 x lagoon blue, aqua blue, atinic+, aqua pink, the overall affect is a very white look.

Tyler posted pix, however they look bluer than in person.

Thanks for the link, however I dunno how to read them, lol. J&L said they will put in both in their fixtures for me to compare whenever I venture out there next.

thanks for your help.

We must be looking at two different bulbs, because I use the "blue pop" E5's and they look amazing. These are, IMO, the best and most innovative reef product to come out in the last 5 years. They offer a lot of tangible upsides with little downside and are general enough for many to put to service over their tanks. AAA++++ 5000% Eight Thumbs-Up Gold Star and four Chickens rating.

verbal jousting aside...

any chance you will be posting a picture of your tank running the E5's?

I too would love to see a picture of the tank with and without the Blue Pop bulb if you get a chance to snap some pictures. I need to replace 6 bulbs soon and want to see if it's worth it to try a Blue Pop in place of an ATI Blue +.

I will do that...

As stated, right when I turn the lights on, and it's JUST the E5's running, it does look quite nice.

It just gets completely drowned out by the ATI T5's.

I'll try and snap some pics this weekend and post them up.

It would be awesome if some of you who really love these bulbs could do the same.

I still haven't mastered taking pictures under very blue light but my T5i and I will do the best we can.

Hey guys - keep it civil or you'll get a week vacation from the forums. Snide remarks aren't necessary.

Edit: I haven't had time to read all this yet...judging from the messages I've been receiving maybe the vacations are already earned. To be continued...
