That's not enough to sustain corals. I suggest using at least 2 white and 2 blue.

Hi what kind of blue? I am reading a lot of different type of blue colors (e.g. actinic, marine blue, royal blue, royal magenta blue, etc....)

Which blue good for coral/fish life sustain?

Which blue good to display luminous coral colors?

Actinic will give u more lumi illustration on corals, royal blue for more blueish effects. Best in the market now are ATI ones.

[Chuchu]

The tube is marine blue, what is ATI?

[angmoh]

is a brand of the light tube, which is preferred

[Chuchu]

Ok happen to know anywhere sell cheap cheap?

[alexcyf]

Ati lightset are kinda pricey anywhere in e market.. It's quality for $$. The cheapest option is to wait for a 2nd hand set by our reefers here. Even then it will set u back a few hundred bucks, bit more for the newer version with e led display

[Evolutionz]

Suggest u at least replace the 2 tubes u have in ur t5 to ATI tubes. Can consider supplement with leds.

[Admiraltian]

It's ok if u use cheaper brands like aquazonic or hopar. Juz make sure u change them after 6mths cos the intensity dies off easy. Heard it last only 3mths. But it's ur call. ATI bulb cost ard 30bucks, abt double of those aquazonic ones.

[PordingPrime]

how long is ati last?

Most reefers especially sps keeper change after 6-9mths of usage. But some dun bother and used until the t5 light blown.
