Aqua Medic Aqualine T5 Reef White 10000ok 24w

Description

Aqua Medic Aqualine T5 Reef White 10000ok 24W — Bright 10,000 K daylight T5 HO tube for 60 cm freshwater and marine aquariums

Most aquariums need one good white tube before anything more specialised, and a 10,000 K lamp is the colour of midday tropical sun. Aqua Medic Aqualine T5 Reef White 10000ok 24W (SKU: AB88720) is the 24 W, 55 cm daylight tube in Aqua Medic’s aqualine T5 range, a high-output (HO) fluorescent lamp with a colour temperature of 10,000 K. Aqua Medic describes it as a bright white lamp that simulates tropical sunlight and calls it the ideal basic illumination for both saltwater and freshwater aquaria. At 55 cm it suits fixtures over tanks of about 60 cm, whether a small community tank, a planted tank or a small reef.

Its value is in what it pairs with. For a saltwater tank, Aqua Medic recommends combining Reef White 10K with aqualine T5 Reef Blue to raise the blue share of the spectrum; for a freshwater tank, combining it with aqualine T5 Plant Grow enhances plant growth. In a two-tube 60 cm fixture that means one 10K plus one Reef Blue over a reef, or one 10K plus one Plant Grow over a planted tank, so a single tube type covers both kinds of aquarium. Used alone, it gives crisp, neutral-to-cool white light that shows fish in their natural colours. The lamp has G5 bi-pin ends and runs on a 24 W T5 HO ballast; a 14 W standard-output T5 shares the same length and pins, so check the fixture’s rating. Output fades gradually, and keepers commonly renew T5 tubes every nine to twelve months.

When to Use

• 60 cm aquariums: Fixtures that take a 55 cm, 24 W T5 HO tube.
