Nice set up.
Awesome colors!
Liking the new lights?
Thanks guys.
So far so good. I had the issue with the fixtures getting too hot in my canopy. Cutting out the top fixed that issue. So far that was my only complaint. But if I hadn't purchased the dimmable Sunpower, I would have never known the fixtures were over heating, so I guess it's a good thing.
My Sps are loving the T5s. In just a month, I've already seen corals changing for the better. Faster growth, and better colors.
One of my biggest concerns was heat. That was keeping me away from trying T5s. I thought if I changed to T5s, that I was going to need a chiller. I had 2 small fans in my canopy that I used to cool my LEDs and my retrofit t5s. I ended up adjusting them so they blow down towards the water, and they are controlled by my apex. My tank hasn't hit 79 yet. I think the highest I've seen it was 78.8-78.9.
