Currently using t5 on my nano, I want either a 150 or 90 gallon but I might have to go 90, I think il do led there's so many packages and set ups compared to metal halide

For ULN system I would go with T5HO because the intensity and spread of the light make for some very nice pastel colors.

With a regular system I much prefer MH.

So far all the frags that I either sell or get from people using LED are either coming in very dull or going dull after I sell them.

Ive only used T5HO and MH

MH takes the cake in nearly every aspect from my experiance.

FWIW, in the past i had a sweet sps tank using 400W MH.

and in the future, if i can deal with the heat and power cosumption, i'd use them again.
