sorry i mis a word in my question .. "explain futher"

[boxfish]

I think T5 refer to the thickness of the tube...5/8 of an inch

imagine a thinner FL.. ..but more efficient .. newer technology wor

[sunnymau]

is it atinic?

good for the growth of the coral right?

[mingwen1611]

T5 is a type of lighting... definitely better and FLs and PLs and the prices... no need say... oso very "nice" la...

I'm using Deltec Mega Twin and ATI Twin Dim-Fix T5 with 2 ATI Aquablue Special, 1 Deltec Aquablue and 1 ATI Actinic Blue (all 54 watts) to light up my 100 gal tanks. All the T5 retrofits and bulbs ordered from Edmund.

For retrofit, I think Deltec is a bit better and solid than ATI. But for bulbs, ATI is the best

All of my corals seem very happy with the lighting. These T5's are very bright, much cooler than MH and should be able to save me a lot of money in the long run (cause of the lower wattage and longer bulb lifetime).

[sunnymau]

may i know how much is it?

[maKo]

Can anyone please explain what is meant by "retrofit"? Thanks..

From the reviews in the forum ATI seems to be the most recommended. But after waiting for so many months for the stock to arrive, I think it's time to start looking for a substitute. Does any other brand measure up to ATI?

IMO, I heard from Water C. the tech. support is not good. They do not carry it any more.

[boxfish]

can try Mr X-glare

May I know who (or what) are Water C and Mr X-Glare?
