so I am looking to get a retrofit for a 100 gallon tank. I am looking to start with mixed reef and go towards sps once tank is established.
I like the t5 lights as it provided no shimmer. But I also want some leds where I can control or program to get the following:
Sun rise 7:30 am
8:00 am - blues 50% whites 20%
Ramp up till blues are 80-100%
T5 goes on for 6 hours
Ramp up leds 100%
T5 off
Leds ramp down
Leds sun set
You get the idea.. want to mix t5 and leds. Which lights can get me total control of ithour breaking the bank?
Also not looking for hydras or anything hung like that with crazy shimmer.
