Going T5

[4n2xtacy]

So I just got this T5 lights lights for plants but also switched 5 of the 8 bulbs to ATI bulbs. It's amazing, super bright, 6500k I haven't gotten corals yet. I'm still getting the tank ready for corals. I still need a calcium reactor and every other thing but the light seem really great.

Looks like a great fixture! You are going to have a ton of light! What size tank are you doing?

Second that question. I am looking at going T5 on my next build (going to be a 75) but worried about all the likely light bleed from a fixture with more than 4-6 bulbs.

I have a 75gal tank and I plan to make it a mixed reef tank.

Haven't mounted it yet, but I helped a friend mount his 8bulbs and there was no bleed whatsoever, it was a perfect fit.
