I supplemented my VHO's with T5's, I added 2 Aquablue+'s to go with 3 URI 50/50's

Each T5 has its own reflector and they are running on one workhorse 7

It looks pretty good over my 150gal

That looks really nice Fragum. How long has it been setup like that, and have you had any problems with SPS

Yes it is, i started out with two little frags from a freind of mine and a year and a half later it is out of control.
Actually it has financed my hooby quite nicely, I trade in these things to stores from Panama City to P-Cola, Also to a store down in S. Fl.

Aquaworks loves to seeme come in with my containers of frags :lol:

I started the project in July of 03 and finished up in Dec 03.

I really dont have real SPS's just a Monti Cap and a Birdsnest and both are doing very well

Thank you!

Wow, these T5's look like the way to go. I am getting a 65 gallon tank from my friend in a few weeks, and I'm looking to go ahead and have my lighting setup worked out to begin gathering parts. I'm really interested in these t5's. I'm in Tuscaloosa, AL...where is Rich located?
