No there is a trick you can do which I am playing with or was till I took that tank down and if anyone in town has true HO T5's let me know so I can do a measurment on them (I suspect the local LFS' only have NO T5's) when I was doing was running my PC's at HO levels and there wasa big difference and after 2 years there was still good output. I have also seen nice sps tanks under VHO and even NO, but what I have not seen is a two year old T5 tank with mature corals over a year old in it. this would be a good indacator of how they do. Likehave said in previous tests is that the benifit to T5's is that you can cram more under the hood and get even more even lighting than with other types. Steve

Wow, very interesting posts- thanks, everyone.
I am starting again from scratch so I may go with the dual T5 setup. (I gave away my 20T when I left Calgary- lock stock and barrel. Gave it to a woman who is doing a great job with it and she's hooked now.) Someday, I'd like a bigger setup... but then again I'd like to stop moving every two years, too... thanks again don

You know, there is! But everyone is poor from Stampede.
Me, I'll be poor from the new TEK5 unit I'm going to get at the end of this week. WIN!
