Throw a question at ya, if you were to do your lighting from scratch would you still go the T5 only route ? I've always been a MH guy but with trying to cut down on power consumption and seeing the success of your tank and several others it looks like either way gets great results.

thanks for the comp.
I have used MH in the past, acutally those are the lighting that is in the very very first pic of this thread. one blub on the right hand side was burnt out.

I switched to t5s, and havent looked back. And if i started a new system, I would probably go with 2 of the 3ft 8 blub ATI fixtures with the a mix of
2 actinc plus,2 new gen 14k,2 coral light 10k,2 and fiji purple on each fixture.
