What is the Blue Plus Bulb?
Widely regarded as the most popular reef aquarium T5 bulb of all time, the ATI Blue Plus is an essential component of modern marine lighting. It combines the properties of a blue bulb (approximately 460nm) with an actinic bulb (approximately 420nm), producing an intense blue light that serves as a high-performance foundation for any reef system.
The Science of Growth & Color
The Blue Plus is engineered to provide a light spectrum that aims for biological health while enhancing aesthetics. It is a top choice for hobbyists because it offers:
-
High PAR Output: Delivers the intense energy required for the growth of demanding SPS corals.
-
Dual Spectrum Support: Encourages both natural coloration and intense fluorescence by hitting key photosynthetic peaks.
-
Visual Correction: Effectively balances "washed out" or yellow-hued tanks, providing a crisp, deep-sea blue appearance.
