T5s look like your fluorescent lights you see is shops and offices but thinner (the number is bulb dia in 1/8" increments so T5=5/8" dia).

Some do corals just with only T5. Can get in combos with MH, separate, retro kits.

There is so much more to this than lighting though. Lighting isn't even the important bit IMO.

Also a search on Canreef will bring up several threads they are being discussed on. If you need a hand I can link some here.
