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'.

Ya, my house is warm

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

In the same boat Tyler but went with my frag tank other 2 tanks are led and I don't like them so much.

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.

I seriously didn't know that using all three light technologies at once was a thing

Shows you how behind the times I am.

Switched from T5HO to DIY LED last year and never looked back. Loving my LEDs as is everything else.
