ClayTheSavageFraser Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Found this on RC!!! Pretty Cool!! T5 lamp PAR readings OK, Here's the latest readings taken with the lamps running on a triad ballast. The numbers are only good for comparison here. Previous readings I took were with a different ballast and reflector so don't try to compare the two. ATI Sun Pro 357 Aquablue 336 Blue Plus 311 Actinic 137 D&D/Giesemann Midday 325 Aquablue 324 Actinic Plus 264 Pure Actinic 157 AquaZ Sun Pro 285 Ocean Pro 323 Blue Pro 266 Helios Daylight 309 Super Blue 225 Current Sun Paq Daylight 10K 272 Blue 252 GE Daylight 340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepingwiththefishes Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hey there Clay I was just wondering what is your suggestion on what you would run on a 4 bulb 60 gallon 18" deep mixed coral tank? Any proven combo would be helpfull. Thanks Tha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I like 3 ATI blue plus and one Korallin Fiji Purple for a 4 light set. If you want I could pull a couple of lights and show you how it would look. The ATI blue has good PAR as well as the Fiji. Remember PAR isn't the end-all. Color spectrum is just/if not more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Max-GTE Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 The common 4 bulb 20k imitation setup is 2 ATI blue +, 1 KZ fiji purple, and 1 UVL super actinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I can also show that combination. Which I also like. For someone that doesn't know what Austin City Limits is your pretty bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algae Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 As long as we know why geese fly in an uneven V we are OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
