Just added a Agrobrite 24inch 2 bulb T5 fixture to my Hydra 26HD.
So since I have had my Hydra I have had real bad shadowing problems. I tried to solve this by moving the fixture up and increasing intensity. It worked for a while but my corals were growing and shadowing came back into play. I really didn't want to ad another 26 and didn't want to spend a fortune on expensive combo fixtures so I decided to try and get a good fixture grow fixture and see if it worked!! And it did! For the last month everything has taken off, better coloration, better polyp extension, and noticeably more growth!!!!! And the shadowing is gone here is a pic

The LED lights are great but shadowing appears to be the one flaw that turns people away. Especially for Acropora lovers. Nice job!

Thanks I hope they can solve the shadowing of leds someday!
