Jump in when you can, there will be more options available when you do, and 6 months after that, prices will have dropped again and there will be even better products available.

4 bulbs a year will cost close to $160-200 to replace- there's your fixture

but you have to live within your budget, once you r done school, you'll be able to do more - like a bigger set up

Haha. Yah that's the most and still half of 2nd hand radions :P

Oh yah once I am done with my school and get a job, I will stop counting gallons and start counting tanks by dimensions

Ya, a bit pricey still (i hadnt looked at pricing on them in a while, thought they would have dropped a bit more) but you would save the difference with 1 set of bulb changes. Go with the t5's.

LED prices are not dropping any time soon till China comes up with something like Rad-ions LED :P

Yah I can see people are not for MH. T5s my options i presume.

Thanks for the suggestions
