T5 vs. PC

[Squiddy]

exee: Please post pictures of your tank lit by your T5's!

asmodeus: What bulb combination are you using? Those actinics, are they Pure Actinic or Actinic+?

I am running a 6 x 54W HO T5 retro kit that I built into a DIY hood. The whole setup with bulbs cost me $586, shipped from ReefGeek. I will take some pictures of my tank when I get a chance but I would love to see some other pictures of Canadian T5 powered reefs.

I am using 1 Daylight, 2 Actinic+ and 3 BluePlus(11000K) bulbs and I think my tank looks very bright, but also a little washed out. I wonder if I could supplement the T5's with 40 or 50 super bright blue LEDs... hmmm
