Halogen will grow Algae Really well. Not much of anything else. What T5's did you have that you didnt like the spectrum? You know they make T5 bulbs in ALL ranges. Halogens are around 4700-5500K which is perfect for growing algae.

Original poster never said anything about growing corals :-) Just because someone fills a tank with salt water doesn't mean they are going to throw corals into it :-)

Great looking tank, looking forward to seeing what you end up stocking it with!

Didn'e mean to offend, but seriously. Only trying to help. You have to have kinda thick skin when posting on these kind of forums. becasue not everyone thinks alike and someones bound to say something you don't agree with. If you think Canreef is bad for that, check out some other marine sites. This is the only one I constantly visit. There's a reason for that

Best of luck with your tank
