Just thought I'd post a most recent picture of my tank. Once I get all the glass clean, I will post a FTS. If most don't know, I just abandoned my T5 experiment and gone to 400w MH with Reeflux 12k bulbs in Lumenbright minis.

Yes Rob, that's him. He was in Cheri's tank but while we were transferring, we had him in a frag tank and he kept jumping. Cheri didn't want to put him in my tank but it was best for his survival.

what happened withT5s?

Art,
The T5s worked great for about 6 months on the 30" deep tank but after about the 6 month mark, par and penetration was failing. I believe for a tank 24" and less, they are a superb alternative to halides but not for a deeper tank. It would cost $400 every 6 months to replace them. A price I am not willing to pay.

I am saving the bulbs in case I need them for something. I wished I had not got rid of the MH when I did, so I'll wait a while.
