Oh and I keep forgetting to write my T5>MH review in here

Well I am a T5 junkie that was interested in MH in the past. In october I picked up a 150watt de and changed out the stock 10k bulb for a pheonix 14k bulb. Big reason I believe T5's blow MH out of the water:

Color - After moving the same corals from my 60 over to the cube I notice that the light is not creating enough "pop" which means that I would need to look into some supplimentals down the road (looking into retro fitting some UVL 18" actinics)

MH fixtures need supplimental. End of story, without a little help from our good old T5 friends they would just be a "meh" bulb. Now LED's... these are sparking interest in my eye
