Date Published - 28th August 2013 - Published by - iQuatics Ltd

4 T5 Combinations
The combinations we are providing below are a guidline only as every fish keeper has different opinions on the colours they prefer. The most popular combinations we find are used in the aquarium hobby are marked with a *.Colours can vary slghtly depending on the position of the tubes. You can position the tubes in the position you prefer.

 combo1 Combination 1 – 3 White 1 Blue Actinic This combination will help bring out the natural colours of your corals and fish but you will have a slight yellow hue across the tank. The actinic tube will help to reduce this hue and will bring out the fluorescent colours in your corals.
 combo2 Combination 2 – 2 White 2 Actinic You will have a nice balanced colour as the 2 actinic tubes will wash out the yellow hue in the white tubes. Coral growth will be limited as the actinic tubes help towards bringing out out the coral fluorescents but don’t contribute towards the coral growth dramatically.
 combo3 Combination 3 – *1 White 2 Aquablue 50:50, 1 Blue Plus This combination will give you an overall slight blue tint to the tank enhancing the natural fluorescents of the corals and fish. The Aquablue are fantastic contributors to healthy coral growth as well as washing out the yellow tint to the white tubes. The blue plus will penetrate the tank to deeper levels giving you more light at the bottom.
 combo4 Combination 4 – *1 White,1 Aquablue 50:50, 2 x blue plus. Overall this option will give you a larger blue tint to the tank thus penetrating the light to the lower depths of the tank. Coral growth will be good and fluorescents of your fish will be enhanced, however you may find it too blue for your taste.
 combo5 Combination 5 – 4 x Aquablue 50:50 The use of 4 x 50:50 is quite popular. The overal coral growth will be good and the volume of light in your tank will be maximised at all depths however using 4 of the same tube will mean you cant slightly change the effect by altering the position of the tubes unlike with the other combinations. You will have a clinical blue tint to your tank with this setup.
 combo6 Combination 6 – 4 x Tropical This is the most popular combination for a tropical setup as the pink hue enhances the reds in your tropical fish and the low kelvin promotes healthy plant growth.
 combo7 Combination 7- 2 White 1 Blue Actinic, 1 Purple This combination will help bring out the natural colours of your corals and fish but you will have a slight yellow hue across the tank.
