I'm thinking about switching my lighting from the Razor to T5. Curious to hear from people who have made that switch and what your thoughts are on it.....


Thanks!
 
Yes. I had the R420R 160w 16K. Really liked the light as far as LEDs go, and the best looking fixture on the market aesthetically IMO. Just missed my T5s, so I went back :) New T5 fixture does have blue LEDs down the middle of the fixture, however... best of both worlds.
 
I feel the same way.... I like the Razor and it seems to be performing well. Just feel like I'm missing something. My rainbow Acans have definitely lost color under LED's. Which T5 fixture are you using?

Yes Acans, Chalice, Euphyllia and Cataphyllia look and grow considerably better for me under T5s. I picked up a Coralvue T5 fixture with blue LEDs, four bulbs, three ATI Blue + and one ATI Purple +. Absolutely love this light, and they're on closeout right now so price cannot be beat. Was planning on mounting a ReefBrite strip over the LEDs as I didn't think they'd perform very well but man was I wrong, the LEDs are intense!

I just sold both of my Maxspect Razors (120w and 160w) 16k and bought an ATI 48" 6x54w dimmable. The Maxspect Razor is an aesthetic slim designed led fixture. My softies and lps we're doing great, but I have very little success with the sps. Most of my nice sps are browning and/or starting to brown...very happy with the decision of switching back to the T5.
 
I love my t 5 aquatic life LEDs down the middle I put ati bulbs n and I have a panaramic led strip 150g tall. I have all corals and have to shade some of them.if I had the cash would love to get the ati light set up is the best.i get great growth and make frags .
