![]() Not in any hurry. Just in case MAYBE they no longer make or carry VHOs anymore one day. As long as everything is still working fine, VHO is a great way to go for LPSs. I get wonderful colors and growth from them.

![]() Help me decide which lighiting to use,
Canopy #1 has 4 80W T5's, it used to also have a fixture on the back with another 4 54w T5's but it stopped working. Canopy #2 has 2 vho super actincs and 3 175W my 14k How would you all mix the above lighting over and mixed reef 150g 72 x 18 x 27 I find the colour look great under T5's but I don't get the pop of the greens that the vho's give, the mh seem to give a shimmer but thats it, they seem to wash out colour. Could it be my corals are just not used to mh and better colour would come? Thanks for the advice. |

![]() The mh's seem to take up so much room with the giant reflector, could I put 2 T5's inside the mh reflector or would it get too hot?
I am thinking vho's on for 2 hours then 2 T5's come on for a 2 hours then mh's come on for 3 hours, then mh off, T5 off vho off, moonlights on, would this combo be good for colour/growth? |
