If I was buying now and could afford them I would look at the Mitras and the New Radion .

I'm going with the Radions(G2) and a cpl of Vortechs with my new 180.

I still say, if you want to grow SPS and have it colour up nice, T5 lighting is the way to go! I know know the hydro bill would take a hit but there's no comparison IMO when it comes to growth and colour.

Saying that, I think T5 with some Royal Blue supplemental LED lighting is even better! Gives that extra pop and shimmer that T5's can't provide.

If money is no object on this build, the new ATI Hybrid fixtures with LED and T5 lighting look freakin awesome!!!!

By the way, your build is AMAZING! The finishing work is off the charts!!!

You know I was waiting for someone to say T5's. I still remember Fishytime / Lobsterboy's tanks were amazing. I have only seen pictures of Doug's new tank. He looks to be having success with the LED's as well. But then I think Doug could grow sps with a light bulb!!
Thanks for the comments I like the T5 idea! The cost with dealing with bulb changes is the only drawback for me. Lower heat than the HQs.
