t5 lighting suggestions?

Its not the same blue tip acro that I have is it?

No, I think you got some of the "weed". This one has more delicate branches, it is kind of neat actually.

"Weed" well it is growing fast. Ok you talked me into it. I'll take one

[charlie]

You got it, it isn't going anywhere. It is actually coloring up fairly nice in the 40. I had it stuff in the back of the 300, and it was hardly getting any light at all.

I know this a far piece out, but I think I am gonna do an open house on Dec. 19th, like all day. The special that day is hot buttered rum, so if you don't make it this weekend.............................

I had a 90 gallon that is the same as 75 gallon, but taller. In the tank I had SPS, LPS, some soft corals and three clams. I lit the tank with a 6 bulb Tek 5 T-5 HO fixture.

I was very please with it.

One thing about T-5's is you do not get the shimmer of the water and some of your corals colors do not come out as well. They still have lots of color just not as bright as they are in my 300 with the MH 20K bulbs.
