ocboat Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I recently added an Aquatic Life T5 hybrid light to supplement my Radions and was wondering if anybody had any extra 24" T5 bulbs new or old for sale so I could try out some different combos. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
householdofpayne Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I’ve been looking to by this hybrid set up! My hold back if s my cube is 23.5” wide, figured I could put an 1” shield on each side. Let me know how you like the light after getting some bulbs in there! From my reading a lot of people do 3 blue one purple plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocboat Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I already have some bulbs in there, currently 2 blue plus, one coral plus and one purple plus. I also have another blue plus so I've tried different combos with the five bulbs that I have. I'm just looking to see what another coral plus or maybe an actinic would add. I'm not crazy about the purple plus and 3 blue plus is a little too blue although I could always add a little more white with the Radion. My tank is actually 36" wide so I ordered that 24" endcaps and have the Radions mounted perpendicular to the T5's. This gives very good coverage to my tank but a shield would help when you look at the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
