Welcome to the future of aquarium lighting!

Combine your favorite LED Light module along with Aquatic Lifes T5 lighting fixture to create a stellar lighting system!

Accepts FOUR Ecotech, AI, or Kessil LED Light Module

  • Includes LED Light Brackets
  • Powder Coated Aluminum Frame
  • Individual T5 Reflectors
  • Silicone T5 Sockets
  • HEP Ballasts

 

Aquatic Life's T5HO Hybrid Lighting Fixture lets you combine your favorite LED light module between two banks of T5 lights. The T5 lights are powered by HEP Ballasts for fast firing and excellent color rendition. Each T5 lamp has their own reflector and is held in by traditional bulb clips that have a plastic coating to protect your bulb. Aquatic Life has even gone above and beyond by including silicone end caps that make changing bulbs super fast and easy. 

 

When you combine LED and T5 lighting you can have the best of both worlds. T5 lighting has a proven track record with their full spectrum bulbs and edge to edge coverage, and almost anyone can have success with the right fluorescent lamps. Being in the 21st century everything we own must have some type of control, and that is where T5 fails, but LED shines. LED lights are known for their ability to ramp up and down giving dusk to dawn effects while being able to change colors and spectrums throughout the day as well. LED lights provide great shimmer, and when paired with T5 lights almost creates a realistic look that you would actually find in a shallow reef. 

 

Pair the Aquatic Life Hybrid fixture with some of the most popular LEDs like Kessil, Ecotech, or Aqua Illumination for a successful combination of T5 and LED lighting. Each hybrid fixture includes two different mounts that can accept some of the larger lights like the Kessil A360 and Aqua Illumination Hydra FiftyTwo HD, but also some of the smaller modules like the AI Prime HD and Ecotech XR15w lights. 

 

Important Note - While supplies last, fixtures will include four round mounting brackets for the Kessil A360. In the future, these will be available for separate purchase.

Tuning Your New LED Light

Most LED lights will actually put out more light than your corals will actually need and without a PAR Meter to test the overall output, it is really hard to guess if the light is too dim or intense. We highly suggest using a PAR Meter to test the output of your lights at different points throughout your tank that you can use to tune the lights output or know where to put specific corals.

Product Questions

Two questions. First, is this big enough for a 73×24×30 aquarium? If so could I keep some lps and softies until I can get the leds?
Question by: John on Aug 9, 2019, 2:53 PM
Hey there,
Thank you for reaching out to us. You can keep LPS and softies under that fixture without the LEDs, however, with your size aquarium, you will get pretty dark shadowing at the edges of the tank. We would recommend looking into 2x 36” fixtures.

Have a great day and take care!

I would like to attach 3 AI Hydra 52s to this fixture instead of 4. Am I able to utilize only 3 LED brackets and space them evenly over the tank, or is it designed specifically for 4? I have a 72"l x 24"w x 31"d 240g tank.
Question by: Ryan Sanford on Jan 27, 2018, 8:21 PM
You can use three modules and space them correctly in the Aquatic Life Hybrid 60" fixture. The brackets can freely slide to anywhere you want within the rails.

I am considering adding one of these to my 3 Radion XR30s over my Red Sea Reefer 450. Should I go with the 60" which is a couple inches longer than the tank or the 48". Tank is 59" long. Plan to go SPS crazy, but realize that the T5 + 3 Radion may be a little overkill.
Question by: Eric Anderson on Jan 25, 2018, 5:10 PM
Personally, I would go with the 48" model and 3 Radions. The 48" model will only leave you with about 5" on each side of the fixture, and even down the line possibly adding a fourth Radion will yield better results than an additional few inches of T5 light. The biggest thing to take into consideration with SPS dominant tanks is the growth down the line and being able to provide high power light through all the branches to the shadowed areas.
