Anyone using LEDs supplemented with T5? I'd like to keep rainbow acans and think about adding T5 to my Radion. I have my radion hung and I'm looking for a comparable size of t5 to hang do they don't look odd together. Thanks for sharing!
 
There's no reason why you can't run t5's with your Radion. Pacific Sun sells expensive fixtures with both built in. I'm considering the idea for my next upgrade on my 180g. I'd put the t5 right at the front of my canopy so it can reduce the shadows under coral and LR ledges. But I'm also considering using a Buildmyled fixture that is 5' long instead of a t5. I won't decide until I see what my next evolution of led fixture looks like.
 
You may want to turn down the radions with said supplemental lighting, though.
