Aquaz vs ATI T-5?

[CAPT PETE]

I was looking at the Aquaz Ocean Pro and Blue Pro and the ATI Aquablue specials and Blue Plus. Which bulbs are better? I used the ATI bulbs in the past and were happy with them but I could get a better deal on the Aquaz bulbs. Any suggestions?

I heard he new ATI bulbs are made by a different manufacturer now and much better than all the other brands. Check out the T5 thread and see the posts about the ATi par value on their new bulbs.

I have switched my sps system over to all T-5 Ati bulbs and can not be happier, 2 blue plus, 1 pro color, 1 special, and two actinic.

IMO, all AquaZ bulbs are garbage. I'd go with either ATI, FM, G-man, or UVL.

ya dont save a few bucks and have crappy corals. ATI and UVL is the best in my opinion. i been using t5s from the start. im going to switch to all ATI soon.

Switch to ATi and UVL based on recommendation from Grim Reefer and I see a big difference in the reaction from my corals compared to those discounted $10-$15 bulbs.

Thanks for the help. It's a tuff decision when you're buying a fixture and they throw the bulbs in for half price.Looks like I'll go with the ATI.

Great choice!
