T5 Only Owners-Show me your SPS

Airborne · 03/05/2009, 09:15 AM

I am thinking of switching from MH to T5's. For those that own a T5 only fixture, show off your SPS and LPS.

Help me make the decision easier.

Thx

check out http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-10/totm/index.php I know for a fact Paul uses only t-5's and helped with installing his new tank last year.

That's awesome, 28 bulbs of T5's. This hobby isn't cheap!
