So you think that I should go with T5's?

I'm thinking more for color, and dusk/dawn effects when the halides are off.

When you pick up the tang and wrasse you can see how my Halides, T5s, and PCs mix for color. I have 3 150W halides, 4 96W actinic PCs, 6 blue plus 2 purple plus, 2 actinic, and 2 aquablue special 39W ATI T5s on a 6' tank. I too think the ultimate light will likely be a mix of halides and LEDs some day.

well if your looking at leds talk to martin, stunners IMO might not make a difference, panorama pros may. hard to say

I'm running 3x250w halides and 4 12" blue ecotech panoramas over my 5 foot tank. I origally changed out 2 48" fiji pink T5s . The blues really make my LPS pop. It loks totaly insane with just the blues on.

I had them made at an LED place in New West. It was about $70 for two 6' strips and really bright. Sticky on the back. Plug and Play. He has strips of the LEDs that can be cut to custom size for your tank.

Sorry ment ecoxotic not ecotech. I have two of the older Panaramas and two of the pros. When I get home tonight I will try and take a picture of my lighting to show how bright they are and how I have them set up.

Chris

Any pics of your tank/how you set that up?

And are you growing any SPS?

I was just adding some stuff to my last post. Yes I do have SPS in my tank and they are all coloring or colored up. I will try and get some pics when I get home from work. They definetly have more pop then th two T5s I had over the tank before.

Chris, if you going to make pictures, could you please make picture with MH + panaramas and MH only.

Thanks.

That would be awesome thanks! Thats what I like to hear too. LED's would be a lot more efficient and easier to mount in smaller spaces then the T5 option for me.
