I am surprised that you ditched the GHL Mitras. You were having more success with them than anyone else I have ever seen.

It will be interesting to see the changes in coloration.

Mike, ever since seeing your tank a few mths ago and could not stop thinking about these lights. It was a no brainer.

I almost didn't to be honest... There was another Mitras on sale here on Canreef a couple weeks ago... I wanted another one for the centre of the tank... Haven't heard back from the seller.... Did me a huge favor. just 7 days in and I am noticing a few positive changes already.

Rich, thank you for your support! I'm looking forward to your new build soon and next time you come over to the island don't forget to bring your clippers.

One week update: noticing more new colors that had been washed out under the LEDs. The red planet in the middle had generally been a slow grower... Not anymore. The same can be said for the shortcake and the blue tenius.

Greg, thanks again! Really liking the new lights. I'm seeing some very obvious new growth on a few pieces where they did nothing or very little under the LeDs. Still too soon to really judge but it's on the right track!

Default Light schedule

I've been asked to share my light schedule so here goes... Hope it is ok as I am still a newbie with the t5s...

This is my LED schedule


The T5 schedule- yellow represents channel 2 and Orange: channel 1



For the LED with the yellow dot, this is a custom setting...



And for the pink dot, also a custom setting...



I'll try and post a YouTube vid of the light cycle later.
