CorallineAlgae would recommend this product to a friendI started out using T12 & T8 bulbs about 20 years ago, then switched to VHOs, then power compacts and finally T5s. ATIs are the absolute best that I've used and the Blue+ is my favorite. I use the Blue+ to augment my LED fixture or paired with a Coral+ in a T5 only setup. These are the best you can get. -

Product Questions
product desc. says 48 inch ? Is this a 45 inch bulb for a 48 inch fixture?
Question by: keith cummings on Jan 26, 2016 2:40:00 PM
Great question!
The bulbs are labeled by the size of fixture. As long as the wattage matches they will work for your fixture! Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

The bulbs don't say HO on them. Are they rated that for HO fixtures? Thanks.
Question by: Mike Adam on Nov 23, 2016 5:54:00 PM
Great question! These bulbs are T5 HO bulbs. The ATI Blue Plus T5 HO fluorescent bulb combines the properties of a blue bulb with a True Actinic Blue 03 bulb. BRS Note: The ATI Blue Plus T5 HO fluorescent bulb is one of the most popular actinic bulbs available. :-)

what is the par rating on a 36" blue plus
Question by: vincent on Jun 5, 2016 8:05:00 PM
Great question!
This will vary depending on height and other factors, what reflectors and other impact however under 6-10 inches of tank you can expect high par in the 200-300 range for good SPS growth. at 24" you can expect lower par in the 100 or lower range.

I have a 75 gal aquarium and a T5 6 bulb fixture that I picked up for a good price. I am going to set it up and move my anemone and clown fish over to it and maybe add a few soft corals and maybe a few lps corals. was wondering what would be the best combination of t5 bulbs would work the best?
Question by: Jim on Apr 3, 2016 2:39:00 PM
Great question!
The best combination of bulbs through ATI that we use are the Blue Plus and the Aquablue Special. We typically recommend 2 of each on 6 bulbs. From there you can use the remaining slots for supplemental lighting such as coral plus for more white based light, actinic for a deep blue and purple plus for unique coral colors. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

I have 2 48" blue plus in a reefbrite supra fixture. Donyou have a general idea of what the par reading range would be around 8" off the water?
Question by: Alex on Feb 19, 2017 4:51:00 PM
Hey there!
Although we wish we could test each bulb and fixture combination available on the market, unfortunately that isn't possible for us. Each fixture has minor variances in things like wattage and amperage draw. Because of these differences, their respective PAR readings can be different even with the same brand of bulb. :-)
