Im starting a 125 build sometime after Christmas. Im thinking of qoing with a t5 led combo.
Not sure how I want ro do it. Should I go with a 4 bulb 60" fixture and full spectrum leds, or 6 bulb fixture with supplemental leds?
Any advice much appreciated
 
6 bulb and you won't need LEDs to suppliment, you should be able to get the look you want.
 
I have a 125 with six T5 fixture it works perfect I also have to LED strips in there one white one blue I use those when I want to see different lighting I recommend if you can go all LED do it you'll like the look of it better
 
Thanks for the replies.
I definitely want to go with t5's, I currently us a 6 bul b fixture in my 75. Very happy with the results. I was just thinking of using leds as well. Trying to achieve some more pop out of the corals and maybe a little shimmer
