I just found this thread and am very interested in this as I am planning to do the same thing. I am upgrading my 90G to a 180G this weekend and since i already have 2 16k razor, i decided to get a 3rd and will add 2 T5 bulbs. The issues i am having are.
1. How to mount the T5 and the razor under the canopy. I like the clean look so everything much be under the canopy. I cannot tie the T5 to the Razor like you did as I am going with 60" bulbs and have 3 razors. Building a 12" high canopy and will try to add the retrofit T5 kit to the canopy.
2. What color T5 bulbs should i use? The tank will be LPS dominant but i am certain to have a few pieces of sps as well.
I would appreciate any thoughts on the above two points.
Much thanks
Hi Milton,
I would just use the LED / T-5 with ATI- Blue Pluses I used these and they worked out find. Most said to use just plan Actinics but I wanted more Pop. It worked out just as I wanted. Here is a Photo from my Combo
