So I'm thinking about replacing my PC's on my 20 long with the new t5 from coralife. Will there be any acclimation time?

Yes, always acclimate the tank to new lights.
is that a 4 tube fixture?

Make sure other brands of bulbs will fit in the Coralife fixture. They have been known to use weird sizes and then you are stuck using their crappy bulbs.

The only real benefit I see from switching is the better bulb choices with T5. I don't think their will be a huge jump in PAR with that fixture.

Mark, I was looking at the 2 bulb fixture. Ryan I will check the size of bulbs out before I buy them, thanks for the heads up!
