Sunlight Supply maristar combo fixture with 3x250 watt DE running 14K Pheonix and 4x39 watt T5s running 22K KZ Superblues.

Here it is burning a nice hole in my wall..



^that was a full room shot of the tank from back in August 2009. It's been 5 years and I am still running the exact same fixture with the exact same bulb combo (new bulbs of course). I did repaint the light fixture to silver to change things up.

2014 FTS.

Wow just under 900 watts of lighting, the tank looks awesome.
Your lighting pretty much takes up 1 whole circuit.

4 X 250 watt Lumenmax3 pendants driven by Blue Wave ballasts with Pheonix 14 K - (too bad the bulbs have been discontinued)
1 x Radion LED fixture (replaced a Hamilton pendant last Dec on the RH front corner)
12 X T5 54 Watt across the back.


Fairly recent FTS

Nice tank snappy! That's a lot of light but a lot of coral too

That's very disappointing to hear. I was about to make the jump to Halides as I'm not completely happy with T5's. I guess T5's are the best option in Reef lighting for now unless there is another similar Halide lamp.

Does anyone know of a lamp comparable to the Phoenix 14k?

LOL. I had to go check! Thankfully no. I think the wall paint I used is UV protected.
