Show Your T5's Full Tank

[billaweed]

I did a search to see if there was a thread like this and didn't see it, so I thought it would be cool to see who's using T5's, what their color combo is, and full tank shot with the lights on.

216w Nova Extreme - Color combo front to back:
Marine-Glo Actinic
12,000k Giesemann Aqua
12,000k Giesemann qua
Marine-Glo Actinic

My tank as of 2 days ago. ALL lights on.

looks really really beautiful I think. Why did you back to MH's?

Thank you.

Really I dont have preferrences. You see I have been having issues with my tank and in hope to solve some of it is to play around with lighting. I have tried all the scenarios and combos out there and T5 is one of them.

Dont be fooled with its appearance and look. This can burn/bleach your coral if your not careful even coming from MH. You have to acclimitate them.

One thing I like with T5 is that you can replace one bulb and mix and match them to your preffered color or growth. Also you can replace bulbs one at a time or two, so it doesnt hurt your budget and does not have a sudden impact on your corals because of change in intensity.

Hope this helps.
