T5 vs. PC

Well your ballast cost is high, wont an icecap 660 run 4x28" tubes?
But it doesnt matter, T5 is not cheap obviously.

If I stick with VHO, I might do 4x75w, 3 of them 10k, 1 actinic. THis should be able to keep LPS corals, and maybe SPS on the top.

The T5 retrofit kit that I bought can be found for $115 for the 36" kit with waterproof endcaps, reflectors and 2 bulbs. It's the 39w HO kit.

What corals do you keep under those lights?

I've got a tri colour acro, some gsp's, a gbta, a couple of heads of frogspawn and a large fist sized colony of candy cane coral. All are very happy.
