LED T5 combo

[gar732]

OK, I've had T5s over my 75 for almost a year now and I'm happy with them. However with all the talk about LEDs and actually seeing them on a buddy's tank it makes me want to try them out. So what I'm thinking is doing both. What I'm planning is 48 3w Cree LEDs and 3 54w T5s and I was thinking about setting them up like this:

Blue+
24 LEDs 50/50 blue/white
Purple+
24 LEDs
Blue+

Please let me know what you think or what you would suggest. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Go all LED! I just purchased 2 super blue aquaillumination units, can not wait to try them out!

Considering the same thing on my new 150 (36x36x27), except using 24w T5s instead of the 39w lamps. Maybe a few more LEDs

I thought about going all LED but this is a little easier on the wallet. And this way I can go all LED or back to T5 five if I want without losing as much money.

Any thought on my choice of bulbs?

On my main tank I still use T5s. They are on for only four hours a day for a high noon blast of light I like the results. I posted this youtube before but thought it would help here.
