    With newer bulbs. Ati bulbs and I have extra bulbs. With bulbs 400 without 350. It's up and running. Best t5 fixture I've ever owned. I'm gonna get rid of most my corals and goto leds.

    Just because you are switching to leds doesn't mean you need to sell your corals you just need to ramp the leds up slow otherwise you can burn/stun them. If it was me I would use both t5 and led I've been using leds for the last 3 years and I moved and put t5 back over my corals just temporary wow I totally forgot what they look like under t5 so I'm going to be using both on my new tank. but it's just my opinion.

    @AdamLawrence@AdamLawrence i agree i think the combo t5/led is the best option you get the color and the par you want.

    It's a non dim one. Also I'm gonna do a retro 2 strip t5 with leds in canopy. No room right now as its an 8 bulb.

    I agree, use both. My SPS went crazy when I added the t5s. But I guess it does depend on what kind of coral u r trying to grow. Most of my lps were not happy when I added the t5s. Too much light for them so I have been moving them slowly to another tank I have running.
