The Aquatic Life G3 T5 HO Hybrid 4-Lamp Mounting System is the next evolution of hybrid reef lighting, combining the unmatched spread of T5 high-output lamps with the power and custom spectrum of your preferred LED fixtures. The result is a perfectly balanced lighting solution ideal for SPS-dominant tanks, mixed reefs, frag systems, and high-demand coral grow-outs.

This 48" model features a durable black powder-coated aluminum frame, redesigned endplates for improved rigidity, and an integrated LED mounting track that accepts the most popular LED lights on the market—including EcoTech Radion, AI Hydra/Prime, and Kessil (with optional brackets). The G3’s open central channel allows your LEDs to sit directly above the water while T5 bulbs flank both sides, delivering uniform PAR, reduced shadowing, and superior colour blending.

Equipped with high-efficiency ballasts, moisture-resistant end caps, and highly reflective T5 parabolic reflectors, the G3 Hybrid ensures stable, even illumination that allows corals to thrive. A suspension hanging kit is included for clean, adjustable installation above any standard 4-foot reef aquarium.
