T-5 Light Manufacturer's and Model List

[427HISS]

Ok, since there's no specific T-5 light manufactures and model list, like the LED's, I thought it would be fair to start at least, this one, especially since there are so may great and wonderful tanks both small to huge around the world. And,....I haven't decided on which type of light, halide, T-5 or LED I will have over my in wall 125g mixed reef, this may help me.

So, post and discuss any manufactured list and even your DIY lighting, using manufactured parts.

I'll start off by listing one of my favorite, if not the number one light,..... from Giesemann !
What a wonderful and beautiful light it is !

For me with a limited budget, just wish it did not cost so much !

I currently run dual kessil 160we and quad t5 (Home Depot fixtures on those) dual ati blue+, one coral+, and one purple+. I have been making the debate of switching over to an 8 bulb ati sunpower t5 fixture, but I haven't been able to justify quite yet because I don't see the necessity in fixing something that isn't broken. Just been dabbling a bit more into sps sticks and I've seen great t5 results.

Nice.

Have you tried otber manufactures other than ATI, if so, why stick with them ?
How long have you used T5's ?
How did you come to a decission on which spectrum bulbs to use ?
