I'm looking into a better lighting fixture and I've been looking at PC right now but I also want to check out T5. Can anyone give me links to some good setups? Thanks

Rich seemed to have reasonable T5 setups, if you want retro.

The individual reflectors are the best way to go.

there are other T5 setups out there. Its all going to depend on what you want to keep. If you are going for acros and light loving coral you want to pack the T5's in the canopy and get a variety of bulbs. If you are just going with low light corals some of the cheaper setups might work just fine.

You know Icecap is supposedly a superior brand but I myself have had one go out. I also know alot of people that have had theres go out, but I have some non-brand ballast now from Petwarehouse that are going strong after at least 4 years. I really wonder about if Icecap is such a great brand....

My IceCap has been going for ten years continuously--never any issues.

How about any recommended PC fixtures?
