MH/T5 combo all the way baby. I can't feature paying 5x as much for a fixture that is almost as good as MH.

Even if you have to buy a chiller you're still looking at a cheaper option than LED...

I still had to run my chiller even with LED, so no savings there

It sounds like you're looking for one of these. Problem solved. Thank me later!

Does it need to be 'controlled', or just 'on and off' ?

Ideally controlled via Apex

I could give you numerous links to waterproof led strips in the 460-470nm range if you're only looking for 'on/off'

dimmable, yes. It's the one feature I'll miss with T5s

You can buy dimmable T5 ballasts ... 1-10v

I can't help you with the day/dusk LEDs if you want them dimmable
