MINIMUM ORDER 4 BULBS
Shipping bulbs can be risky . We pack the bulbs really well. But We take zero responsibility if they arrive not working or broken.
if you don’t want to take that risk please DO NOT ORDER from us. We cannot replace and refund shipped bulbs. This is 100% at your risk
It’s easy to spend hours deciding which T5 bulbs to use over your tank. It’s challenging to visualize how your combination of bulbs will look in your fixture. While some parts of choosing your bulb colors is personal preference, here’s a general guide to help you select bulbs for your 6 bulb fixture:
16K – 20K – Bluish white with a noticeable blue and red under-tone
4 ATI Blue Plus
1 ATI Coral Plus
1 ATI Purple Plus
12K – 16K – Cool white with a noticeable blue and red under-tone
3 ATI Blue Plus
2 ATI Coral Plus
1 ATI Purple Plus
10K – 14K – Crisp white with just a hint of blue
3 ATI Blue Plus
2 ATI Aquablue Special
1 ATI Purple Plus
For aquariums with a lot of LPS corals, a True Actinic bulb can be used in place of Purple Plus to provide enhanced pop in coral color.
About ATI Bulbs
ATI T5 high-output fluorescent bulbs have been at the forefront of T5 bulb technology since their introduction in 2000. ATI use the latest advances in light-emitting phosphors and manufacturing techniques to produce bulbs with higher output, better coloration and more stability. ATI bulbs are a great value and a preferred choice of aquarists around the world.
ATI – Aquablue Special – basic tube
The Aquablue Special is one of the most proven basic tubes in modern marine aquaristics. Due to its high blue content, it has a high proportion of photosynthetically usable radiation for corals (zooxanthellae).
It is therefore the cornerstone of our tube concept. We recommend an admixture in the ratio of 1:1 to 1:2 to our Blue Plus and the supplementary tubes.
ATI – Coral Plus – basic tube
The Coral Plus is a basic tube with a significantly increased blue content at maximum PAR power. The higher blue content leads to better color reproduction for corals with fluorescent pigments as well as to a higher proportion of photosynthetically usable radiation (PUR). Despite the very high blue content, other colors such as red tones are also reproduced very well. The Coral Plus is the latest development from ATI and is visually located between the Blue Plus and the Aquablue Special.
ATI Blue Plus – basic tube
The Blue Plus produces an intense blue light (max. at 450 nm) at maximum PAR power. The fluorescent pigments in the corals stand out even more clearly and the overall optical impression is significantly improved. Depending on the coral stock, we recommend mixing in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:2.
ATI Actinic – Supplementary tube
The Actinic produces a violet-blue light (max. at 421 nm), which appears less bright but emphasizes even more the fluorescent pigments in the corals.
ATI Purple Plus – Supplementary tube
In addition to an intense blue component, as also found in the Blue Plus, the Purple Plus also has a red component. This emphasizes both fluorescent and non-fluorescent pigments. For this reason, Purple Plus has a particularly high color-enhancing effect on corals and fish. We recommend mixing it with our basic tubes (Blue Plus, Aquablue Special) in a ratio of 1:3 to 1:4.
