PLEASE NOTE: These bulbs are not compatible with JUWEL Aquarium Lighting Units

iQuatics 24W T5 Aqua Blue Special 50:50 Hybrid

24W – 550mm/22” (length) – 5/8”- 16 mm (diameter)

High Output T5’s are better to use in your aquarium lighting than the regular T8 as they have increased water penetration and are more efficient.  You don’t lose the illumination at the bottom of the deeper tanks.

With this lighting you are not restricted as much to the content of your aquarium, stock levels can be increased without the worry of inadequate levels of light.

The greater intensity, deeper penetration and Higher output allows you to stock your tank with a wide range of soft corals and allow them to flourish which was not possible with T8 Fluorescents.

Key Benefits of our High Output T5's:

  • Greater Intensity
  • Deeper Penetration
  • High Power

The iQuatics Aqua Blue 50:50 tube is our most popular fluorescent to date. It combines the phosphors of a Blue Plus tube with a 10000k full-spectrum daylight bulb. This bulb is great as a standalone bulb in smaller tanks or running alongside an iQuatics Blue Plus or the Actinic range in larger setups.

The Aqua Blue 50:50 has a mixed spectrum of useful light energy providing maximum PAR for ideal coral growth condition.  With an overall blue tint to the visual output your tank will appear in its natural beauty with your corals located at both the higher and lower depths of your aquarium.  It helps to balance out the washed out yellow hue in your aquarium. The iQuatics Aqua Blue works well as a supplement to metal halides or in combination with iQuatics Marine White 14000K.

Aqua Blue 50:50 Special Hybrid T5 benefits:

  • Good choice of standalone tube or as part of a lamp mixture
  • High brightness and visual depth
  • High volume of usable light for maximum photosynthesis
  • Blue output peaks to allow natural coral viewing pleasure
  • Popular for Freshwater(in moderation) and Saltwater setups

50:50 100% for me Review by Catflaps
I have a 110 litre planted tank, which came from ebay with a single T8 attachment. as it was 18in tall the lighting really wasn't cutting it. I upgraded to T5 and as the Aqua Blue 50:50 were cheaper on the website than the shop bought ones I was looking at, I took the plunge. WHAT A DIFFERENCE, I now have to look at CO2 solutions as the plants are outdoing themselves and my fish look stunning! Great value and amazing quality. I have already set my bulb service reminder for next year! (Posted on 28/10/2011)

Question:

Does your buy 2 get one free offer on bulbs only work with the same bulbs? eg if I buy 1 blue + and one 14k can I get another bulb free or do I have to buy 2 of the same bulbs for the third?

    You can mix and match the t5 tubes and still take advantage of the Buy 2 get 1 free offer. The cheapest tube will be the free one.
