Hey Melina, can you pls tell me how much light spill do you have from you 36" Tek T5x6 unit. ?
Is there a lot of light on the walls etc.
Say if you are at the front of your tank on a chair and the light fixture is above your eye level do you have bright area in view?
THX.

Default T5 vs 250DE MH on reef central

Check this out.
Scroll down for "hahnmeister's" tests and pictures.
I wonder if any of you guys agree with his statement about T5 sun bulbs.

If I wanted more from the T5s, I could use sun bulbs rather than aquablues, and use more blue+ or daylight lamps rather than the true actinics. Actinics really handycap the T5s overall output. Likewise, I could run the pheonix on a HQI ballast... so things even out.

Sorry I can't tell you because the fixture will only be here on Tuesday and I don't even have my tank yet
