Oh, I have seen t5s in action in other tanks and in all honesty, I don't see tham giving the same "pop" from a purely aesthetic point of view than VHO's.

If I were looking at a main lighting source instead of actinic supplementation, there would not even be a question here and i would go t5's for sure....

But I have to say, I am very impressed with these old school lights, even with only 1 bulb on over my 24" deep tank it's so bright and colors are just jumping off the live rock...

I actually had a couple long days and didnt wind up getting hom from work the last couple until 730 or so...

830 is bed time....lol

Plus, I'm afraid if I go to your house and see your tank in person I'll just be so jealous that I just might quit the hobby...
