That's what I was thinking to do with all my tanks have them run t5s and leds .I just see soo much growth with t5s but u get awsome color with the leds ...I'm still new to this hobby done it for about 3 years now but the frist 2 was alot of trials and errors alot of money down the drain but tons of experience now. Now that I'm on these forums I'm trying to learn from everyone and anyone with tips or ticks for these bare bottoms share Cuz I'm just starting them
