 I don't see the point in running T5s when you're using that many. For the record, my T5s shimmer, but not as much as MH.

Man do I like those lights! The fixtures look awesome IMO, very slick.
I may get some shimmer out of my TX5, that is until I see a real bright MH light tank, and I realize mine looks like a flashlight with a blue bulb

You did notice that his tank is 8ft long right? Nothing odd about 2 x 8 bulb fixtures.

T5's have there place, right inbetween MH and PC, 50% more intensity then the same size PC but still far lower than MH. but I think the popularity of them is due to ease and lower heat, as on large tanks it would take several MH.
seeing as 6 or more years ago we had tanks like that using VHO I don't realy find T5 lighting that amazing just a better idea than PC or VHO. I think there is a lot more than the lights causing the color in that tank, bad A$$ skimmer, crazy maintenance, and time to do it all. Steve
