Plasma, it's out there. And yeah, I'd never heard of T6 either. Mox Nix though, since I still say fluorescent, as good as it is for our application, will become increasingly difficult to source in the future, especially those funky spectra used in our application.
Forgot to include Xenon arc as a possible 'other'.

I would have liked to build some T5 into my setup, but thought of that AFTER building my canopy 2" too narrow. Oh well.

Currently LED + T5 for me, but hopefully within a week or two it will be "LED, T5 and Halide" (which wasn't a listed option, I guess "other"? ). I'm going to shoehorn 2 Radiums back over my tank, because honestly after going away from Radiums, the tank was just never the same for me. So I'll keep the LEDs for the primary I think, T5's flanking for supplementation, and then the two Radiums will pile drive some additional intensity for mid-day. Will see how it goes, I have to modify my light rack to accomodate all the gear.
