My switch back to t5

Looks great Joe. I'm getting my tank back into shape now, switched back to dosing and keeping my T5s, going back to my old school methods when I had beginner's luck. BTW I still have your pump all boxed and ready to go. I need to come see your tanks!

That's great Joe. I am really impressed how awesome your stuff looks now! My tank's not much to look at, just got my parameters in check and lost much of my good stuff. Lots of room for frags now though. I will post a recent pic in my thread.

Sweet, man. I have a turaki that's supposed to be hawkins but I have my doubts that it is the real thing. Hawkins is one of my all-time favorites!

They actually always been good colored fast and stayed colored through some tough times lol. Tell u the truth myagi tort is only coral i cant get to keep color
 
All i can say is ati t5 ftw i should of switched yrs ago hasnt even been a week and corals that were brown have some color my pearl berry and premo berry look even better and the short cake that was awsome under leds even that is more colorful my red planet has red finally the rasberry lemonaide has its rasberry color the pink lemonaide is changing to the yellow and pink even thhe pia myagi tort thats been brown for over yr has purple already . Im shocked that im seeing this big of difference in such short period of time . Literally stuff looks better then yesterday . First time in yr im excited about reef i honestly thought about shutting it down a month ago jsut was bored with it .
 
Glad you didn't shut down. Super excited that your corals are doing better with t5. I'm happy I went with MH this time around.

The finished product had to tape the glass in they sent too short. Dam bastards

So i had to add the optics as u can see they r 120 degree also did go with 3w with dimmable capabilities the drivers were able to power all 36 leds which is about 8 more then they do each channel in the fixture> gonna have to add fans
