Good morning everyone. My names Adam and I'm from CT. Been out of the game for a while now. I think almost 10 years. I was in the hobby for some time also worked at a local fish store in Agawam ma. Right now I live in an apartment looking to get into a house this year.Still trying to figure what size tank I will be getting. So I will be slowly buying up some goodies. As of now I still have all my Rock and heaters. I see now people are using LEDS for their lighting. T5's and Metal Halides still a thing these days?

Welcome @Slacker300zx to R2R. Still have T5 and halide users, but I think it's fair to say, LEDs rule! :eek:

Welcome, was it aqua dreams that u used to work in?

 

[WWIII]

Welcome back! And welcome to R2R!

T5s are definitely still used by many! Halides are becoming a little more rare, mainly because manufacturers are focusing on led technology.

I can only assume LEDs are a lot cheaper the. Metal Halides!

Welcome to R2R! Look forward to seeing your upcoming tank develop. Post pictures in the "members tanks" area. SB Reeflights would be a great place for you to start looking around at LEDs. Lots of options there.
