The Aquatic Life DX18 Hybrid Fixture is the ultimate solution for combining both T5HO and LED lighting over your aquarium. Designed with decades of experience in growing corals and plants, this patent-pending fixture allows hobbyists to create the ideal lighting for their aquarium ecosystem.

The DX18 Hybrid Fixture offers a unique platform that enables you to pair your preferred LED fixture with dimmable T5HO fluorescent lighting. This combination of light sources provides the benefits of efficient intensity and diffused lighting, effectively eliminating the shadows often seen with LED-only setups.

One of the key features of the DX18 Hybrid Fixture is its versatility. It is available in 24", 36", and 48" lengths, accommodating a wide range of aquarium sizes. The fixture is designed to work with popular LED fixtures, such as the AquaIllumination Hydra 26 & Hydra 52TM, EcoTech Radion XR15w & XR30wTM, Kessil A360X, A360WE, and AP700TM, among others.

The 0-10 Volt input on the fixture allows you to use popular controllers, like the APEX TM, to adjust the intensity of the T5HO lighting. This level of control gives you the ability to fine-tune the lighting to suit the specific needs of your corals and plants.

Setting up the DX18 Hybrid Fixture is a straightforward process. The fixture arrives pre-assembled, requiring only the attachment of the included suspension cables and LED mounting brackets. The LED brackets can be positioned where needed and locked into place, providing flexibility in arranging the lighting system.

For added convenience, the DX18 Hybrid Fixture features optional mounting brackets for securing your LED fixture, ensuring a secure and organized setup. Additionally, the silicone socket end caps protect the ends of the lamps from moisture, allowing them to operate at optimal temperature.

Seamless integration is another highlight of the DX18 Hybrid Fixture. A single power cord simplifies the setup, and built-in cord routers at each end of the fixture help conceal the LED cords, maintaining a clean and organized appearance.

The fixture's reflector design is engineered to keep the T5HO light focused within the aquarium, maximizing the effectiveness of the fluorescent lighting. Furthermore, the built-in HEP brand dimmable ballasts are designed to drive popular T5HO lamps, including ATI and Giesemann.

In summary, the Aquatic Life DX18 Hybrid Fixture is a versatile and innovative solution for aquarium enthusiasts who desire the best of both T5HO and LED lighting. Its thoughtful design, adjustability, and compatibility with leading LED fixtures make it an excellent choice for creating the ideal lighting environment for your aquarium's corals and plants.
