ATI T5 Light bulbs

Where is the best place to order ATI T5 light bulb for a Current USA Nova Extreme T5 X2 Aquarium Lighting Fixture, 2X24 Watt, 30 inch.?

 

U cam check sos lighting if i remember correctly that have decent prices

 

Great fixture- I'm using that same exact model on my 29H reef tank.

I order my ATI bulbs from Marine Depot. They have competitive prices, fast service, and excellent packaging to protect the bulbs.

 

Do you have a 30' fixture? And do you have a 24" light bulb or a 36" light bulbs because i cant find 30" ATI light bulbs.

 

ATI doesn't make 30" bulbs, only 24", 36" 48" and 60". AquaCave is another good source for the bulbs along with Reef Geeks. 24W bulbs are 24" long.

 

Unlike Coralife and a few others, the Nova Extreme 30" fixture uses 24" bulbs. As 2in10 pointed out, ATI doesn't make 30" bulbs, so with the other brands, you're stuck with the cheap OEM replacements.

 

+1 I have a 30" fixture and it takes 24" bulbs. The light cant be 30" if the light fixture itself is 30". lol I would use aquablue special and a coral plus for a 2 bulb fixture. It give you a lot more growing power vs an actinic only bulb imo. What are you hoping to grow with this light may i ask?

 

Just soft coral or just anything thing I can grow with it. I don't have any specific coral I want to grow. I just want it to look good.

 

If it was me in your shoes. I would order myself 4 bulbs now. Blue plus, AB special, Coral plus, and purple plus. Try out every combo with those you can, see what looks good. Then youll have 2 replacements on hand after they expire or should go bad... Then just order what you like and see results with.

Like i stated i would do a AB special, and a coral plus. Maybe a blue plus in place of the coral for more of an actinic look but still nice par.

 

Ok thanks! I think I'm going with a AB special and a blue plus.
