ATI T5 using Dymax Fixture

[TayHongSiang]

Hi,

Just wanna check is it possible to use ATI T5 tubes on Dymax fixture? The reason is because, i find dymax tubes not very good. My blue tubes starts to fade just after using for 2 months and though it is 24W high o/p, it is not strong. So i thought of trying ATI. I'm a budget reefer, so if i can use ATI or other better brands on my current dymax fixture will be great, save money.

if ur dymax is using T5 HO tube, then u can replace them with ATI tubes. But dun expect the ATI tubes to work wonders on ur dymax. Lighting performance depends on many factors like tubes, ballast, reflectors....etc..... The ATI tubes should be brighter than ur current tube but will not be brighter when fixing ATI tubes in ATI fixture....hope u understand what i m saying....
