I just have to celebrate....
 

I finally got rid of the PC fixtures over my reef! My corals are now the proud owners of a 8 bulb HO T5 TEK light!

How nerdy I am to be so excited :D. At least it doubles as a tanning bed.

Thats great Diana.

How nerdy is it that we are all happy for you as well?

Nah, not nerdy to us. Does that make us all nerds cuz we know the excitement you have? lol

Congrats!! Did you really notice a difference going from PC to T5HO?

hmmmmmm i think pictures would do this thread a great justice :lol:

Awesome!!! I agree, we need pics! :mrgreen:

They are excellent lights, you will love them... good for you.

That's great :biggrin: You should notice a big difference.

The difference is AMAZING. I love it, and I think my corals are already wayyy nicer. I have the actinics (4 bulbs) on for 10 hours and the whites (4 bulbs) on for 3 hours.... and the fixture is sitting pretty high off the tank. In a week or so I will probebly lower it down.

I will snap some pics tonight... :D yaya

Oookie here are a few pictures. Keep in mind my corals have been browning out under PC's for years, so they will take a while to color up!
