T5 to replace VHO
 

Is there a T5 bulb that makes the greens pop like the super actinic vho?

uri super actinic

Thanks, doesn't look like they make an 80W. Anything else?

You by ice cap ballast tooverdrive the 54 watt to 80 watt

Would my icecap ballast that is running the vho's run the T5's?

are they 009 can remember the rest of the numbers but yes they will

Hmmm, nice to know if I need to switch my VHOs at work to T5s!

Why switch, VHO is still a good lighting choice

Not in any hurry. Just in case MAYBE they no longer make or carry VHOs anymore one day. As long as everything is still working fine, VHO is a great way to go for LPSs. I get wonderful colors and growth from them.

Help me decide which lighiting to use,

Canopy #1 has 4 80W T5's, it used to also have a fixture on the back with another 4 54w T5's but it stopped working.

Canopy #2 has 2 vho super actincs and 3 175W my 14k

How would you all mix the above lighting over and mixed reef 150g 72 x 18 x 27

I find the colour look great under T5's but I don't get the pop of the greens that the vho's give, the mh seem to give a shimmer but thats it, they seem to wash out colour. Could it be my corals are just not used to mh and better colour would come?

Thanks for the advice.
