MH & VHO = old school and infinitely proven! ;)

Bullstedman, check out GrimReefer's posts on Reef Central in regards to bulb combos on a T5 rig. He's the guru.

Allan, I need to come steal some stuff!

Go blue or go home....

I don't care how you get it (blue)...MH, VHO, T5, LED...just get it.

My new frag tank will actually be half and half. One half T5 (4 x 24w) for LPS and low light corals and the other half 175w MH (20k) for SPS and 4 LED PowerBrite modules spread evenly across everything just to "get it".

Looks great Allan. That Blue Polyp German Digi is jamming and by the looks of it you have it at the bottom of the tank under T5...pretty impressive to say the least.

+2 on GrimReefer's advice. We asked and used his recommended bulb combo and everything is looking good in our tank.

Also, I wouldn't say T5's are just for low light corals. Our SPS is growing quite well with only T5's.

You must be refering to my comment and u took it out of context. I did not say T5 is only for low light Corals, I said I was putting my low light Corals under them on one side of my tank and sps on the other side. Also in comparison of one side being 24w T5 bulbs and the other 175w MH, I would say the low light Corals would go under the T5.

Anyways....it was just an example of how i'm using T5, MH and LED all in one tank. Frag tank.

ooh, if only I knew what a blue german polyp was or is. Is it that stick thing poking out on the right facing to the left? The only stick thing I see in those pics are the pink birdsnest... which I haven't been able to get it to go really pink or red, rather just that reddish hint.

Allan I sold you a little ORA German blue digi some time ago... ;)

Lights: move forward Allan. No point in spending money on old stuff. Sure it's proven and still works but why waste all this energy to heat up your tank.
If you want to move away from T5s safe your pennies and go for LEDs.
