The ATI Coral Plus is the first new T5 lamp to come out in a really long time. The Coral Plus lamp from ATI was made to be a white lamp with a blueish look while still retaining some peaks of red and green to keep a respectable amount of PAR. In ATI’s own word the Coral Plus T5 is designed to be a basic standalone bulb which can stimulate ample coral growth on its own without having to be supplemented. It seems like every reefer and their mother is jumping on the LED train these days but let’s not forget that fluorescent lighting technology is still pretty darn efficient and it emits wavelengths of light including UV which are prohibitively expensive to get with LEDs.
