High output T-5 fluorescent tubes emit actinic light peaking at 420nm
*
Strong emissions in the blue region simulate light conditions in deeper water

Ideal lighting for reef aquariums with photosynthetic corals
Space-saving 420nm fluorescent tubes peak at an actinic range of 420nm. Provide the proper light necessary for healthy growth of photosynthetic corals. Strong emissions in the blue region of the spectrum simulate the softer light conditions of dusk/dawn and the blue hue of deeper water. Great for reef aquariums.
Use T-5 tubes with compatible T-5 light fixtures with high output electronic ballasts to help increase efficiency and tube life. The average life of T-5 tubes is 2 years, with the blue/actinic spectrum lamps lasting up to 18 months.

Introduction to T-5 Fluorescent Lighting
Unbelievable brilliance, tiny size - the most advanced fluorescent lighting available.
Economical aquarium lighting takes an exciting step forward with the introduction of the latest in fluorescent lighting technology. The T-5 HO (high output) lamp is only 5/8" in diameter. These thin tubes produce almost twice the light output of standard fluorescent tubes. In addition to their brightness, you can fit more of these slim tubes into the same amount of space. This means more light in less space. T-5 tubes are an economical, high light output option for both fresh and saltwater applications.
Current SlimPaq high output T-5 lamps generate the ultimate spectrum for living reefs. Its proprietary blend of Nichia tri-phosphors provides maximum watts per lumen output, promoting high coral growth and excellent color rendition.
An important component of an aquarium that often gets overlooked is lighting. This article gives a basic description of available aquarium lighting systems.
What's the difference between fluorescent, incandescent, metal halide, VHO, T5, Compact Fluorescent, and other aquarium lighting fixtures? This selection guide answers this and other questions to help you choose the right lighting system.
When designing your aquarium lighting system, your goal should be to duplicate natural conditions. Thanks to recent advancements in lighting technology, this has become an easier task. Learn how in this article.
Nearly twice the light output of conventional T-5 lamps
