Default Lets See Those T5's!

Hey all! I am going to be running a tek light (4 bulb 36" fixture) on my tank! I ran halides on my old tank so really dont have much experience with T5's! I thought it might be fun to see pictures of everyone elses T5 setups, to help me decide which bulbs/combo I want to try! So if you are running T5's, could you post a picture up of your tank with a description of what bulbs you are running and in what order!! Thanks!!

Very nice coloration Grizz! What order do you have the bulbs in the fixtures? Anyone else have any pics of their t5 setups?
