Re: DIY T5 setup

Looks pretty darn cool!

Lighting looks almost about the same too.

That looks GREAT! I am sure you will like the new bulbs, I sure do... Plus I REALLY like the savings on heat and energy.

Re: DIY T5 setup TOTW 2-20-08

Thanks! I love the look of the lights I went with. The white mixture is just enough, but the Actinic Plus really make the corals glow.

It's been two days and the chiller has not come on at all.
