I will be upgrading from a 40B and would like to go with something different than the black box I have been using for the last two months. I was pretty sold on going with T5 lighting until yesterday I visited a local reefer’s home who was running some Oceanrevive lighting. I was very impressed with the color he was getting and kind of fell on love. I figure a cheap 6 bulb T5 fixture will run me about $100 plus ATI bulbs probably close to another $140 (if I’m wrong tell me). So then I checked out the Oceanrevive lights and shipped off eBay with a current coupon I have (FOR TODAY ONLY) a pair of lights would be $280. I’d love to get some opinions of more experienced reefers. I would hate to pass up a deal as good as this seems.

Scratch that going ahead and ordering the T247’s. Too many advantages to LED controllability.
