GtTap Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 How much you selling the t5 fixture for? Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 How much you selling the t5 fixture for? Not selling it, adding leds to my setup. 1 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I would use T5 for daylight bulbs and go with less white LED's but my BML strip is very similar. Equal parts cool and warm white plus lots of blue, RB, and true violet. Looks good with T5s on. Thursday my new multi channel BML strip arrives with 3 channels, blue, violet, white. I'll never be happy. Looking forward to having a blue morning and evening again. Quote Link to comment

I like the tenperature of my tank now so with all these added blues i figured i should offset it with whites to try to maintain the same temp. 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Checked on the tank this morning before work. Milli is looking great but the green blue acro is still a little rough from dropping it. Hopefully it comes around. Ordered a heatsink, need to test sizes and how im going to mount it before i go any further. Still looking through my options for leds though. Quote Link to comment

itzju Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 What happened to the kessil and T5 still have it. once i have the 30 Gal Cube DT setup, i'm going to move all the SPS there (250w MH) then, i'm going to plumb in my other 30 Gal (using as a frag tank right now) and move all my LPS,Mushrooms & Anemones there. I plan on using the Kessil for the LPS tank. Quote Link to comment
