Good things to come:)
 
Very nice! That's actually the one I'm looking at, (minus the dimmable) to replace the LEDs. What dimension tank is it going over and what bulb combo did you go with?

Just in time for Fragtoberfest!
 
It will be going over 2 50 gallon Rubbermaid troughs that will be plumbed into a 150 gallon trough sump. Not sure on the combo yet, open to suggestions!

There's also a video on YouTube with different combinations to compare. I Googled t5 reef tank pictures and came up with some threads with good pictures too. The one I liked was some ati bulbs and some uvl? Just not sure all ati will give you/me the colors you want. Any reason to go with only ati bulbs?
 
75 percent blue plus, the rest split between coral plus and purple plus.

Exploded my growth over leds by themselves. Still kept the leds because i like the extra blue led pop. I'm sure my electric usage suffered but extra growth worth it to me right now.
 
Tidal gardens has the ati bulb comparison that I was mentioning. Still trying to wrap my head around the bulb names.
