Definitely need to get another frag pack from you now that I am back in Austin! 

Awesome! My website should be going live in the next couple months. It'll make it easy for everyone to look at what I have brewing these days. Welcome back!

Man I love that combo! You have the actinics on for a while before the ati kicks on?

Yeah, they come on with two bulbs though... so kind of a 20k+ spectrum to view them for dawn/dusk.

Not going to lie, about to give up on the led only lighting I got going, just not packing the punch I feel like I need..

LEDs treated me well for a good number of years... using the cheap Ocean Revive LEDs no less. I ran them with T5s on the side as well.

Currently running Radions with T5s on the two frag tanks and they look great as well.

I just prefer T5 on my display... better coverage and I like how the SPS respond to the T5 lighting. Adding the SBREEF actinic bars have me the pop I love from LEDs as well.

Ok so I literally read through every page of this entire thread! Does this mean we’re all best friends now?! Seriously though I have a billion questions and don’t know where to start. Ty can i just pm you and be your Jedi apprentice!! Amazing photos and amazing advice. My current tank buil changed to feature actinic lighting just because of this thread!
