This is mt first LED and I switched from T-5s and if you have the cash and dont want to do DYI I recommend these.  6 channels you can control from is great just start slow on output I fried a  few corals trying to get it right .Could have bought a second light for what i lost. Find some running these and start with the settings they have, I finally found a setting that works. Oh and a FYI at 60% vegas can cook corals depending on settings !!!

Well I can get two of the rapid led onyx fixtures for 175 each. Or a six bulb t5 with timers and bulbs for 200.. What would you guys do? I have a hard time buying more led units that aren't the ai Vega just cause I want it so badly.]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:47:12 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62259&PID=507542&title=t5-ho-vs-led#507542 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62259&PID=507521&title=t5-ho-vs-led#507521 Author: Akira

I used a 4' nova extreme with 6x54w on my 72 bow. And could grow anything but you give up the shimmer effect of halides or leds. ]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:13:19 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62259&PID=507521&title=t5-ho-vs-led#507521 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62259&PID=507487&title=t5-ho-vs-led#507487 Author: sanddune600

My fixture is a 6 bulb on a standard 75. Haven't set it up yet but seems that most people have the same.]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:14:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62259&PID=507486&title=t5-ho-vs-led#507486 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62259&PID=507483&title=t5-ho-vs-led#507483 Author: db7080

Hey, so i'm thinking about going to t5 on a 72 bowfront. Have been using leds for about a year but always with a 56 that's only 30 long. I just got the bowfront a couple months ago and now thinking about throwing the lights I have for it on a frag tank and getting a t5 setup... I guess all i'm trying to ask is how many t5 bulbs do I need to be running to keep and grow acros on a 4 foot tank? Thanks in advanced.]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:05:43 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62259&PID=507483&title=t5-ho-vs-led#507483
