Well from what I see in the responses and googling as much as I can, I think I will go for the t-5, I am trying to avoid the integrated timers as I think its a piece the that can crap out later. Plus I have timers built into my power strip.

Will t-5 allow me to do clams, SPS and LPS? Again I am taking this as slowly as I can, and there seems to be many websites that say yes and no. I know water quality is the most important, but I would love to hear what you guys/girls think.
