If you go that route you should'nt have a heat problem and it's great for summer months. It makes my wife alot happier having all my equipment and sump in the basement. No more mess upstairs. I'm no expert but I think T5's need to be changed more often. And you know how it is in this town to get anything SW related.

For sure, Ive kind of gotten used to the thinking of whatever i need i order. I thought t5's and metal halides were the same in a yearly replacement??

I was told every 6-8 months. Nedco had some nice good priced fixtures in the summer. Not sure how many bulbs it held but much cheaper if the words fish, reef, aquarium or marine is'nt on it. The cheap Coralife T5 bulbs at our LFS are only $90 each.

I make regular orders to JL so Id be going there. Its hard to decide and have to crunch numbers on bulb replacement vs energy consumpsion between metal halide and t5. Do you have 150s or 250s on your tank?

This is it. The white flag is waving. Ill do a thread up, going to give away the livestock (its not nice enough to sell) I tried so hard but life is really trying me right now and tonight tipped me over the edge. Im not selling hardware. Ill be back, do it properly. Damn I wish life was more like Star Trek. No more money problems.
