But at the same time, felt like I knew that before for some reasons. Based on your bbq pics, I wouldn't really peg you for a texan either....they just don't do BBQ that way in the south. overnight shipping would never be worth it, but if you'd want to trust men and women of the postal service to do 2-day priority, then maybe? 1 minute ago, spectra said: well once cali falls into the sea.......................... r u sure when that piece fall, that it'd stop at SF? 😁 2 Quote Link to comment
ECLS Reefer Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hey @WV Reefer successfully shipped me a piece of purple plating sponge this week, two day shipping TO Texas. It survived, miraculously, and it was close 100 degrees today. So it's possible to get stuff moved around without USPS killing it. 5 Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 One more post for tonight ATI is up. First impression, not very bright. With all 4 bulbs on, less visually bright than my nanobox fixture. Did I read correctly that some T5 bulbs need a little burn-in time? 2 Quote Link to comment

Never had them so I don't know. Does the tank look good with the t5s? Is that pick above with the t5s? 1 Quote Link to comment

Does the tank look good with the t5s? Is that pick above with the t5s? The full tank shot. Yeah. I should have gone ALL 4 Blue Plus bulbs instead 3 + 1 coral plus. It’d have been perfect blue glow without the usual LED saturation. People with fixtures that hold more bulbs can blend other bulb types in easier, but with 4-bulb fixture = all blue plus will be my recommendation. @WindyCityReefer., what did you end up with on bulbs? 4 Quote Link to comment

I ended up going with the ATI blue+ and a coral+ too. I agree that all blue plus bulbs would look better to the eye. Having the hybrid though, I just adjusted the LEDs to make it more blue. What I am liking about the blue+ and coral+ together is the spectrum of lighting. You are really hitting all the peak wavelengths with the current combo. 1 Quote Link to comment
