Oh i dont care lol good to see old friends talking reefs again we have all been around awhile lol not sure how many yrs of reefing before u get OG status but we r there in my eyes
 
Ok so here is the best solution. Have one system on t5's the second system on LEDs and the third system on the combo led/t5's. And if your wife gets upset just say that I gave you the go ahead to have 3 aquariums in the house lol jk

Lol i actually had 3 not that long ago she thankfully enjoys the hobby and loves animals . We have a 5ft igauna 3 leopard geckos and 2 nile monitors plus a dog. A dam zoo i tell u oh and we r nursing a small iguana back to health after my buddy found it half dead in his yard . Its makeing a good recovery eating and puting on weight and actually kinda friendly for being neglected . As for the t5 vs led ive gotten the color combo close to what i wanted and once i build my led strips i think it will be perfect we shall see . No matter what the t5 is staying since it cost me a arm i cant lift it and if i switch back my wife will have cut both my nuts off lol
 
Joe the Tanks looks great T-5 have been my go to. I gave up on the LED full blown game and just went T-5 my bulb combo is a little different though I like the more Blue look :P

Do you have any pictures of the tank with the new bulb combo?

Do you have a thread for the monitors and iguana? If not you should. :)

For sure... I wouldn't mine adding a strip to my Tek Fixture it's an 8 bulb unit over my 90G maybe replace one of the strips with all blues and use that as a moonlight feature...

What LED's colors did you order? Are you replacing a couple strips?

I dont have any on the iguana but i did on the monitors . Its under what ive done to the fowlr . Started of as chameleons but they pia lol now its monitors but thats gonna change too those guys r spunky and a handful at there baby size i cant imagine what they gonna be like at 6ft one bite me few times already that jerk lol so gonna trade them in for more calm reptiles not sure what yet though . I will try get pics up later ive had peanut the iguana for 10 yrs now she was a rescue mean as a rabid cat and burnt from heat lamp but my wife fell in love with her so she came home with us now she is as chill as can be just walks around house kids pet her she dont have a care in the world . Gonna be rough when she passes shes up there in age vet thinks around 15 yrs or more . Life span in captivity is around 17 with proper care wild is longer . We just glad she here still since her first yrs of life wasnt proper care

It does and was little mad that it chose to settle in that spot by the red dragon lol so far not to much damage just in the front and i broke piece off and glues it somewhere else to start another colony just in case lol
 
That looks outstanding Joe! Huge difference. I'm thinking of going the opposite route
