I have 2 off white aquarays and one fiji blue. Also i have 2 t8s. Best way to set up these lights is??

Tank is fluval 125

My thought.

One white aquaray on back flap. One on front flap. Blue in middle between the 2 t8s

and should i have the t8s both white or have a blue at the back and white at the front?

sounds good mate,
r.e t8s , there useless really so just use for additional blue if its not enough with the aquaray

Cheers paul  

Will the aquarays be strong enough? Ive got 1 blue marine t8 n one white will just use them just now. All getting fitted tonight as tropical fish going to a new home tomorrow.

no sweat sherlock hehe


like i say, a t8 is about 1/5th the power of a t5 just to give an idea of how weak they are.... thats why i say use them as supplementary as theres very little benefit from them

basically, shine a torch at your corals and that will be more beneficial than a t8

hi.

i would just use the t8s for moon light.

[*AJ*]

Buy 2 more aquarays, some T8 adaptors and some MMS rail..... Replace your t8's totally with aquarays! I'm going to be using 4 on mine.... Got a reef blue up front, fiji blue at the rear and twin marine Whites going in the middle tomorrow if my T5 adaptors turn up!

Ive just wired up the lights. Looking not to bad. A little worried as they dont look that bright although i think its more down to the tannins in my water. See tomorrow when i get the tropical fish out and live rock etc in.

once your sands in aswell itll look brighter
