I ran 110W VHO from 1999-2001
I ran 400W radiums from 2001-2008 with VHO supplements
I ran T5's from 2009-2010
I purchased T5s for my last aquarium as my goals had changed......I used them for one month after seeing a Vertex Illumina in person then sold the fixture.
Today, for a mixed reef I would go LED, for an SPS tank I would go with 400W 20k halides with VHO supplements, or perhaps LED supplements as a second choice.
