Very nice..
 
Great tanks everyone!
I like using one oldschool icecap ballast to overdrive 4 bulbs and a hamilton to drive the other two, which in turn gives the same bulb a different color. The coral plus looks a little more blueish pink on the hamilton and the icecap drives it more white. I use a reefbrite in the center just to accent the flouecent colors some.
Here is my combo...

All ATI bulbs for now.
Actintic overdriven icecap
Aquablue special overdriven icecap
Blue plus hamilton ballast
Reefbrite
Coral plus hamilton, this has the standard blueish whitish pinkish look
Coral plus overdriven icecap, this has more of a crisp white and pink look
Actintic overdriven
 
Here is what my bulb combo looks like, the two coral plus are on the right middle. You can kind of see the difference in the photo but in person its more apparent.

This is one of the tanks i have on our system, i am using the lights i just showed. Its a 40 breeder and all i have to put my sps in, until I upgrade next year at least, so its fairly cluttered. I will probably have to trim stuff often, hopefully. Everything is finally stabalizing from the move and should be growing well soon although not much to look at yet.

Bumping this thread for more sps T5 tanks. :)
 
Anyone here still use t5 actinic bulbs? Whats the best brand t5 actinic out there?
I'm referring to real actinic bulbs 420 nm, not blue bulbs.
