Aqua Medic Aqualine T5 Reef White 10000ok 39w

Description

Aqua Medic Aqualine T5 Reef White 10000ok 39W — Mid-length 85 cm tropical daylight T5 HO tube for 90 cm aquariums

The 90 cm tank sits between the small and the large fixtures, and its T5 tubes are the in-between size too: 85 cm and 39 W. Aqua Medic Aqualine T5 Reef White 10000ok 39W (SKU: AB88721) is that size of Aqua Medic’s aqualine T5 Reef White 10K, 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, the ideal basic illumination for saltwater and freshwater aquaria alike. At about 85 cm long it fits fixtures over aquariums of around 90 cm, a popular size for both mixed reefs and planted community tanks.

Aqua Medic’s own pairing advice works the same at this length. Over a saltwater aquarium, combining Reef White 10K with aqualine T5 Reef Blue increases the blue spectrum for corals; over a freshwater aquarium, combining it with aqualine T5 Plant Grow enhances plant growth. A four-tube 90 cm fixture over a reef might carry two 10K whites and two blues, while a planted tank might run two 10K with two Plant Grow, giving a natural look with stronger plant growth. The 39 W rating sits between the 24 W and 54 W tubes in output, matching the shorter run of lamp it has to light. The lamp has G5 bi-pin ends and needs a ballast rated for 39 W T5 HO at 85 cm. Fluorescent output drops off gradually, so plan on renewing the tube every nine to twelve months, one at a time in a multi-tube fixture.
