The new ATI Purple Plus T5 lighting lamp that should hit market very soon. ATI has been on a mad rush getting new products to market, including redesigning their website and out pops a new T5 lamp named the ATI Purple Plus. This lamp has the highest concentration between 400-500 wavelengths with a splash of red between 600-650. This lamp should provide direct competition to the Korallen Zucht’s own Fiji Purple lamp, a lamp color that has been getting rave reviews for the missing link in T5 lighting setups. With most aquarists at least having one of these lamps in their lighting arrays, this makes perfect sense for ATI to develop. This Purple Plus lamp is a 39 watt lamp which will be available in different lengths for around $30, first in Germany and then trickling out to ATI’s distribution network.
