Chris, thanks! It's just been a bit over two weeks and I finally get it! Lol. There is just no substitution for t5. The mitras came close but that's where it ends. The hybrids comes with LEDs and are great for supplementing themt5s. What I am seeing are not necessary new colours but colours that had been washed out under the LEDs.

Anyways, here are a few new macros with the hybrids... Pics are so much warmer then just LEDs.

The change over from pure LED to T5 and LED has been quite positive. One coral that has been most noticeable is the DV Northern Delight....

Under the Mitras...


Under the ATI Hybrid...

Seems to have more polyp extension under mitras but the color is so much better.

Maybe 'cause those poor polyps were starving for 'real' light

I bought my T5s when they were popular, MHs were still in, and LEDs were just coming around
I'll say I'm glad I've stuck with them, even though they cost me a couple frags a year in bulbs ...

But I'm constantly thinking about MHs for my tank due to slower-growing stuff

Your poop is looking awesome Wayner
If I had some extra dough, I'd take a ferry and raid your tank
