Yup, I'm currently using it. I just ordered a new bulb, but I'm starting to think about changing to T5's.

I have 4 T5s that I wouldn't be using if I could only find a 250W MH for a reasonable price.

Are you looking to sell it once you get the T5's?

YOu should ask them to see if each bulb has an individual reflector before commiting to a purchase. That's one of the strengths of HO T5's.

Ive also been considering changeing from MH to T-5's mainly because my electricity bill last month was $459 aaaaaaahhhhhhh. But not sure how well it would light a 30" deep tank.

Default SLR's

I don't know much, but one thing I do know is that T5 Hood should have individual reflectors (SLR) to maKe the T5's worth while. It's kinda hard to tell from the pic, but by the price, I'd say it doesn't have them.

If you want HO T5s go with the Sunlight Supply Tek models. IMO one of the best HO T5 setups out there.
Finnex = mediocre lighting.
