Led / t5 combo ideas?

[srva80xx]

I added my Gen 3 Radions to an existing 8 bulb Tek light by ripping out the middle 4 bulbs and reflectors.

I have been thrilled with the results

Nice!! I did basically the same thing except the housing of the t5 fixture wouldn't fit in my canopy so I gutted it. And I used Kessils

I am a huge fan of LEDs, I love the slow ramp up and ramp down in the morning and at night. I love how my tank glows under the UVs, Blues and Reds, I love the cost savings of not replacing 8 bulbs every year at $25-$30 each... I just wasn't getting the growth I wanted, and the tank always looked "dim" to me. Now I know a lot of that has to do with the LEDs being focused downward, which is good for the corals, but I want to enjoy looking at the tank as well.

I really do feel that the LEDs with T5 gives me the best of both worlds.
