Don't need my permission, it's not mine. I saw it on reddit.com this morning (in my usual morning routine of reading time-wasting websites
 ) so it's public-domain.

Thanks. I might wait and see what happens... the threads accomplished their purpose and I'll probably just let sleeping dogs lie...
I wish I woulda had this a couple days ago though! - Chad

t5's
Sorry to jump in the middle of things guys, although i have enjoyed the humerous ride re: fish's pics and the guys on RC
 . Fish you mentioned T5 lighting with your tank earlier. You seem to put in the much needed research that I am somtimes lazy with <hehe>. Any thoughts on your t5 set up, ie: number of bulbs, brand of retro kit, type of reflector? HO vs VHO, ballast brand? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Yeah, T5 doesn't come in VHO, maybe someday!

Could one overdrive a HO by running it on VHO, like an Icecap ballast or a Workhorse or some such? Or would the increase in intensity be outweighed by shortened lamp life?

The shortened lifespan is minimal if you can keep the bulbs at a proper temperature (so says IceCap).
