    Wanted to share my new Display. Have had it running since November 1st. Main tank is a 90 gallon Cube with center overflow. 36x24x24. Running a 6 bulb HO T5 ATI set up. 3 blue Plus, 3 Coral Plus. The growth and colors have been insane since I transitioned from my 40 Breeder. Tank is a mixed reef and all species are growing very well.

    - 2 RW 8 Jaebo Wave Makers
    - R 200 Eshopps Custom Sump
    - Bubble Magus Skimmer (forgot model)
    - Tank has matching stand and canopy with built in fans to cool since the T5's kick out a lot of heat. Tank runs at 81 typically.
    - I also put a cabinet in next to the display to house all the power switches, controls and ATO.

    I really like the colors you're getting from the T5's

    Running ATI Bulbs. Blue Plus and Coral Plus. Had always done LED and HO T5 combo before, but I see the best color and growth under T5's for sure.

    I agree. Best coral color I have experienced is with T5 also. Really can't be beat. In my opinion anyway.
    Do you run ATI fixture? Like sun power or powermodule. I have tried several different lights and the ATI seem to be the best of the one I have tried. Must be the ballasts, reflectors, and active cooling they use. Just seems to look better and bulbs last a bit longer.

    No ATI fixture at the moment. Just Coralife fixture. Looking to upgrade though. I'm waiting on the PAR Meter. Curious what they are pushing out.
