I need everybody's advice...

FaviaFreak · Jan 14, 2009

I am seriously considering selling my current light fixture which is a 20" Sunpod 1X250w 20K Helios w/ led lights and completley switching over to a T-5 set-up instead. I am keeping mainly high end chalices these days, still have some nice sps but my focus is about 100% LPS . Every tank I have seen lit with T-5's have extraordinary coloration in Chalice's, zoa's/palys, acans, favia etc.. I know I don't need all the light I have, half my stuff I have to shade as is...do you know if anybody makes a good T-5 fixture that will fit on a 24g JBJ? other than current usa? and am I making the right move switching to T-5's?

Thanks in Advance

How long is the JBJ?

Pretty sure that Current USA makes the only 20" T-5 fixture out there. If you ever got new bulbs, they'd have to be their Slimpaq bulbs. :(

As far as I know there are no good 20 inch T-5 fixtures. You will have to do a retro setup to get the good reflectors that make T-5 work so well.
