I just bought a new 220 gallon and I am not sure what lighting to go with. So I am going to ask the million dollar question. What do you like better T5's or LED?

I tried t5 solo, 6xhot5 all ati bulbs, felt a bit unnatural to me. (Personal preference). I have tried LED solo, my lights were undersized for my tank so didn't get the full effect. Now, a t5 with LED supplement or vice versa, however you want to say it, is perfect in my eyes. I get the shimmer from LED, shading filled in by t5, and the brightness and pop from the blend. So, in short, a blend of both. Currently running dual kessil 160we tuna blue and dual t5 ati coral+ and ati blue+. Great colors and quick growth on most things. Mixed reef 110 tall.

The combo is what I was thinking. Just wondering if it's worth the price.
